    21 tonight, no scratch feed - will they be OK?

    I got home after dark and my girls were already roosting. I shut them in their coop without their usual scratch feed on cold winter nights. Think they'll be OK or should I rig up a light? Thanks.

    Interesting (well maybe not) egg-laying behavior.

    My second girl has started laying. When I was home at lunch today I watched her in the egg box. Just before she jumped down, she spent about five minutes picking up small pieces of pine shavings and putting them on her back. She alternated sides each time she did it. Anyone seen such a thing...
