No eggs for me this winter.
My six girls, all the same age (9mo) have all proven themselves to be good layers and gave me 5-6 eggs a day for months since this August.
I have two EEs, two Dominiques, one BO, and one SS.
At least a couple should lay through the winter.
I’m in Portland, OR.
It’s not a harsh climate.
They are well fed, and get scraps daily, which can vary from apple cores to leftover pasta dinner.
What is going on? All of them have stopped. Four in November, and the two Doms (bless their souls for sticking out this long) just a few days ago.
The fam doesn’t really want to set up lighting. It’s not super important that we get eggs, but as I told them that we would be getting a couple eggs at least in the winter, thye are a bit disappointed that they won’t be able to make those lovely fried eggs & bacon we all enjoy with OUR eggs.
Advice? Theories?
Thanks.
