    Eggs?????

    I was just wondering if/when my chickens will start back laying again. I have 10 hens, about 1 year old. They were laying about 8-10 eggs per day last summer/fall and when winter hit they slowed down to about 4-5 eggs per day. Will they start to pick back up? If so, when about? THANK YOU

    Fermented Feed with worms and mold?!?!?!?!?

    It had the grayish stuff on top, I would assume that would be the SCOBY???, but it had actual mold on top of that. And when I looked closer, I could see the larvae. Pretty sure it was fruit fly due to the fact that they would be on and around the FF. Sorry I don't have picture.
