    Egg Production slowing drastically

    It has been really cold and not much day light any more. I went from 9-10 eggs a day to 3 yesterday. I read that putting a light in will help. PLease offer any advice you might have. The temps are in the 40's during the day and teens at night.

    discontinue light?

    I have 10 seven week old chicks in my coop. I have the light on 24/7 and it is getting in to the 70's during the day and 50's-60's at night. It is safe to discontinue the light at this point?

    1st day outside...

    It was a very exciting Memorial Day. The girls went outside in the run for the first time. They were very nervous to hit the outside air. The air was very chilly (56*) so they did not stay in the run very long. They quickly went inside and went for the light. They are 3.5 weeks old.

    3 weeks old do they need the light during the day?

    My "girls" are 3 weeks old and are in their coop with a light. It is in the 60's during the day and 40's at night. Is it safe to remove the light during the day? I have not seen them under the light in a week. Each time I check they are on the roost far from the light.

    Cornish X

    Do they get old enough to crow, if they are roosters?

    cornish cross-straight run or not?

    I want to place an order of cornish cross. It is cheaper to go straight run. Will the roosters be old enough at 8-10 weeks to crow? I live in close quarters and cannot have a rooster.
