Happy birthday, wishing her another 10! Does she still ever produce eggs?

Sometimes, but very rarely. Maybe only like 15-20 a year if I had to guess.

Thats still awesome! Did sge have a natural cycle her whole life or did you supplement light in winter? I had an 6 year old sexlink who still laid well a few months outta the year, never gave her supplemental lighting. She'd probably still be around but she roostered in a tree at night and eventually an owl got her :/

Im sorry to hear that. As for the lighting, Yes we've had supplemental light in the winter. And we've gotten pretty good production of out it. The lighting also helps deter predators too.

Thats awesome, I know Ive read that supplemental lighting causes them to run out of egg production sooner than those who didnt have extra lighting, but sounds like shes a great exception. Well happy birthday again, take care 🖐

As I look back on this I realize I was guessing and I kinda said it like it was fact, I have no idea when exactly we got her.

Also kind of a wrong statement. And definitely not anymore
