Thank LG!!!!

Plans in place for this year to do just that... 90% of what I have is what I have hatched in the last 18 months so rethinking how I do things, I have did alittle research on hatching my own sex links, my problem is, my rooster is a welsummer.. If I go ahead and get RIR layers will that give me...

Personally, I think it wouldn't matter.. Do a search of Winter Solstice laying within the BYC website.. Its amazing how many people's hens restart production around that time.. I thought it was bunk then 2 years ago mine started laying and then last year the same thing happened.. Winter Solstice...

I started a Hydroponics system early fall, sprouted barely and wheat with a smattering of peas, chickens and rabbits go crazy over it. We also put in a fall cover crop on our garden, let the chickens and geese at it two weeks ago and they nearly have the whole garden (30x120) taken care of (...

We do much the same except I sell my girls when they are around 18 months old, before winter. I still get $15.-$20. for each bird with full disclosure they will likely go into molt and be unproductive for 6-8 weeks,.. I give discounts for purchases of 3+ birds and sold 44 between Sept 1 and...

No, actually I will start turning it on an hour later starting the end of this month ( Winter solstice) so by early March late February I wont be using the light at all. It is typically only from the end of Oct - the End of Dec that they really need the extra lighting, that plus the fact 90% of...

They sleep at night... I have been out to the coop after 10pm and all is quiet and there asleep (until of course I walk in) The flock will sleep and rest with or without the light, they go to roost by 5-6pm and generally don't budge until 5-6 am And I realize 24 hour sun in Alaska is during...

I worried about giving them too much light but when I go to turn out the light at 9am and the coop is thrown into darkness, so much so that I cant see into the nest well enough to clean them out or gather eggs I realized it wasn't hurting them, besides.. Folks in Alaska who get a several months...

Normal daylight in the Pacific Northwest is a pipe dream We haven't gotten a timer so this was what we did, I am part of a homesteaders group and many do the same, no adverse effects and egg production is awesome.. The light isn't as strong as it sounds, they have a nearly 200 square foot...

It could be that you aren't giving them enough light.. I sold most of my 1 1/2 year old layers in Sept, what I have left is about 10 of the older girls and 30+ pullets who started laying the end of Sept and the last few should start the end of this month. We decided this year to add a light to...
