Day light saving time

[grampsjim]

We set our clocks forward one hour today as did the rest of the U.S. Will the extra day light help the hens lay eggs? They are
exhibiting the squatting behaviors for several days now. Our temps are headed into the early spring like mild one day and almost hot the next.
I have only one hen laying daily to every other day.

There is no "extra hour" of light. Sorry. It's merely humans playing with their collective watches and clocks. The birds has 11 hours, 49 minutes of light yesterday and gained the predictable 2 or 3 minutes of extra light today as we move toward the vernal equinox in 2 weeks.

Sorry. But the birds no nothing of this human foolishness.

What Fred said, but as the days lengthen your egg production will increase.

LOL! I think I was trying to say what you both said about the days getting longer. I'm "grampsjim's" other half. I'm not really a blond!

Apparently, I'm a bird brain, as I knew nothing of it, either! Forgot to set my clock ahead and was very late to church

The good thing is........ I was right on time for potluck

Hey, I'm Baptist----can't miss out on potluck, can I?

It's fine.....you'd be amazed how many folks are sure their birds stop laying in the fall due to the time change..
