Anyone else's hens quit laying?

I don't Mahonri, and I don't really think I want to add one. I guess we will just play things by ear and see what happens. I guess they do deserve a vacation, but they sure did pick the wrong time of year to take one!

I would have liked for them to wait until after Christmas anyways.

FLOWERPOT - Good luck with your broodies! It will be interesting to see just how many chicks you end up with when all is said and done.

This is what you need to do to keep the hens producing, along with feeding them a good protein level. Light plays a important roll.
I give my hens a hot breakfast as well, which I'm sure plays a roll in it.
