How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

I recently added some eletricity to my coop,i did it so i could give them more "Daylight" to see if that would help with their laying,it definetly seems to have helped,i was only getting 1-2 eggs a day from 12 hens,it was a combo of them being penned in the house and the very short days,dark at 5pm and daylight at 8am,i added a timer to have lights on at 5 am and off at 8am,and on at 5pm and off at 7pm,it has helped them get back on track,everyone who was laying before is no back on track,however i am not sure if the extra cost of electricity is going to outweigh the extra eggs?

How about some chicken humor today?

We only have one small 40 watt light in our coop of 30-40 hens. It is helping a great deal. November we were down to 0 a day. For a couple weeks. None! I added the light, and they have been giving us eggs everyday. 23 yesterday.
