The days are still shorter, daylight savings or not. Most hens slow down alot and some even stop over the winter or when they're molting.

I had to buy eggs as well, I think that mine stopped laying cause I added two EE's to my small flock. I have 7 hens but only 3 were laying. WERE LAYING?

Yuk! I had to buy eggs to do my holiday baking, too!! Yuk! My Australorp lays every day, but the rest of my girls were molting, so that was it for several weeks. Then, as soon as my SLW started laying again, my Australorp decided to molt! My EE's haven't layed in quite a while - their molts are taking forever!!! GGGRRRRRR!!!! One egg a day just isn't enough!! OOh, sounds like an excuse to get some more layers!!!!

Blehs. My girls haven't been laying for SEVERAL weeks. Lucky for us our High School has a land lab were they raise chickens, sheep, donkey's, etc. They are much better eggs then store bought not as good as MY girls but still good and they sell them for $1.00 a dozen. I plan on getting 2-3 standard layers so I will always have someone laying.

I just emailed the lady I'm ordering with and gave her my list! 8 chicks. She orders from McMurray in January for delivery in April. Perfect timing for me, if I weren't so darned impatient!

I have a barred rock, a black star, a RIR, and a dark cornish still laying. None of my bantams are laying.

Dark cornish lay some ugly eggs! The shells are always rough, and a beige color so I can always tell them apart from the others.
