    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We only have one small 40 watt light in our coop of 30-40 hens. It is helping a great deal. November we were down to 0 a day. For a couple weeks. None! I added the light, and they have been giving us eggs everyday. 23 yesterday.

    Thanks for the advice on the scales. We have a harbor freight near. I will get a scale soon. We had 13 eggs when my daughter checked them at 11am. Headed out to see how many more.

    27 on Sunday and 20 Monday night. The girls are doing good with all this nasty weather. Yesterday was 19F or -6C most of the day. We are under a winter storm warning and have got several inches of snow. (Still dark here now, so I am not going out to investigate yet as to how much we got)...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    So, I want to share with you a mistake I was making that was causing low egg production. I was only feeding my chickens once a day around 4-5pm. Let me explain 1. We cannot keep feed in front of them 24/7 due to rats & mice problems. 2. I have to be to leave for work 3am-4am depending on...
