I am just learning so wanted to k now everyone's opinions on times is all. My eggs cartons are always...

    How long do eggs stay good

    both refrigerated and on counter inside house? I have roughly 40 hens and have been getting about 25-30 eggs a day. I try to keep enough room in my fridges to store 16 dozen in there. But when that gets full, and no one needs any at the time, I have no choice but to start leaving some out on the...

    Molting, higher protein feed suggestion?

    SOME of our hens, but not all are molting right now. I have three large feeders hanging for them. Right now they are on a layer breeder pellet that is 16% protein, but I know I should increase it to at least 18 for my girls who are going through molting. Any suggestions? I usually buy my feed at...

    Lighting in the coop

    forgot to mention: only my PBR and my silver laced have ever molted. They are all about a year and a half. My Golden comets, EE, Buffs, and my one Maran are all 8 months. 9 of my hylines are ten months, and the other 12 are 20 weeks not sure what if anything that has to do with molting. (I know...

    Lighting in the coop

    you got 28 eggs out of 5 hens in a week? how is that!? wow.. i guess it has alot to do with your lighting. My coop is really BIG though. They prob have too much room. its more of an open air coop in the warmer seasons, but can be completely enclosed minues the venting for cooler seasons like...

    Lighting in the coop

    thanks that makes sense. I Didn't want to add light, as I understand that they need a break. but it just really worried me that I went from having atleast 15 eggs a day, to ONE at the most. Today, I got none. So I guess what I am trying to figure out is.. is it going to be like this until...

    Lighting in the coop

    Yeah I thought so. But it was just weird, when it happened. I guess just coincidence? Do you think it was added the new hens that did it?

    Lighting in the coop

    Thanks! I think my problem is I added 12 eighteen week old pullets (after letting my existing hens get use to them through wire in a separate fenced in area for a couple weeks of course) right around the time that the time changed.. I'm assuming the time change PLUS the addition of my new hyline...

    Lighting in the coop

    my girls have STOPPED laying. 37 hens, one egg per day, out of all of them. Want to supplement lighting. Ideas? I have a VERY LARGE Coop (21 feet by 17 feet. ) How much lighting do I need to try to kick it back in gear? I will put the lighting on a timer, to add few extra daylight hours, bc we...

    Will my girls lay any eggs for the next few months?

    They need 14 hours don't they, or is it only 12?

    Will my girls lay any eggs for the next few months?

    I'm not getting anything from my orpingtons, right now.. heck I'm only getting an egg a day, IF that from all these breeds I have. I'm hoping it has alot to do with the new pullets that were incorporated in last week and maybe it will pick up.. almost 40 hens and one egg a day ain't gonna cut...

    Will my girls lay any eggs for the next few months?

    I've read somewhere my hyline browns are good to lay all year but not sure.. The last 12 I got were 18 weeks when I got them, so could lay anyday now.. That is IF its possible to lay in winter.. I guess I'm just confused as to how I can get any eggs this winter if it requires 14 hours daylight...

    Will my girls lay any eggs for the next few months?

    I live in NC. Right now, we are only getting about 10 hours of daylight, and it's only going to get worse. We won't have a full 14 hours until probably April. this is the first time I've had any larger number of hens during the cold months. I think this time last year I only had about three. Now...
