Could be a light could be there getting ready to moult if they haven't already... If not those reasons then I think we start getting into diet...

they have already went through their molt. The sun rises at 6:42 am and sets at 4:55pm. 10 or so hours of light....

Hmmm, and I'm sure the hours of light are going up there too... Brahmas only lay like 175 eggs a year supposedly... I could have that number wrong... But my buff brahmas seem to be giving me an egg each daily... Anyone know if it could be a protein thing??

I have to pause to complain that I aggravated my back shoveling and it's pinching the nerves in my hands, that sounds funny but seriously it's pinching the nerves for my hands and my hands keep going numb....

Sam, that's a disk in your neck that's pressing on a nerve. Not very good.

The L1 and L2 vertebrae have some impact on your hands as well but I have a couple bad discs in my neck also Felix.... It happens a lot when I worked really hard the hands end up going numb for days after... They're not numb constantly it's off and on with certain movement... Especially driving causes numbness or typing...

my brahma hens are only laying 1 or 2 eggs a day, if that.....What am I doing wrong? They used to lay 1 a day, at least, each hen. I have 6 hens.

How old are they? I had RIReds that played a egg a day every day all yr even through winter, by their third yr I think their production dropped in half or less.
I'm really starting to like my EEgr/OEgrs. I've been getting two a day almost every day all winter, had two more froze and cracked of course this morning, it is well below freezing.

Karin's dad had some titanium put into his neck. His hands had gotten so bad that he had no feeling left in them, but the surgery helped a lot.

EEs are pretty amazing

Beer, any added light for you? Our's are on 14h, and are laying nicely (the two that aren't broody, that is). Wilma is improving her size all the time, she laid her record, 66g, the other day.

Eeek!
I need physiotherapy again... It's been a while but they've adjusted my hips my back my neck my shoulder and they probably need to do all of it again... Im really hard on my body...
When I was pregnant my hands would go numb just from the pressure of the baby changing my posture.
