Was 14 above this AM when I let my 6 month old inmates out at a little before 7. They had already laid 4 eggs for me!
Went out at 10 AM and found they had laid 8 more !
Seems they have not read Poultry Guide so they did not know that they are supposed to slow down for the winter.
I gave them a large pan of warm sugar water and a bowl of scratch in between tho. They drank 3/4 of that water in an hour, but went thru the scratch in two minutes!
