5/7 yesterday. It snowed a lot. Not sure if the girls got outside or not but I think so. My son likes to take care of them when he's home from school on the weekends. Hopefully we'll soon get a consistent 7/7. They are only just over 5 months old so I really shouldn't complain.

6 eggs so far. That will probably be it for the day. Sunny but cold. Glad for the sun,maybe some of the hens that have stopped will start again.

Got 1 more, so that makes it 7 eggs for today.

Well the sun is better for the weekends as you can get something accomplished around the house ...

How is the water at the school has all them problems been fixed yet I know about 5 years ago we had some snow all weekend and the pipes were not all wrapped for the cold and a couple of the water pipes broke and the school was all up in arms and my 2 boys had to be sent to other schools for three months before pipes were fixed and the rugs replaced oh and the mold inspection was finished .....

7/9 yesterday. The weather is ridiculous, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold again. I am sure it's messing with them because production drops then goes up a little then drops then goes up. Still waiting (patiently) on 1 girl to start laying.

Everything in my school district is fixed & back to normal. We do still have students that are displaced because they had up to 6 feet of water in their house. Most of them are staying with a friend or relative & still manage to get to school. I've heard Spring may be bad because of all the frozen ground water. May get more flooding as it thaws. Hopefully it will be a slow process so most of it can be absorbed before it causes any problems. Time will tell, I suppose.
Single digits in the insulated coop this morning.

Definitely not okay. Scratch is not a complete, nutritionally balanced feed. It is lacking in a lot of essential nutrients that a chicken needs. It's also only about 8% protein. If they don't get enough protein, they can't lay eggs, they may start to eat what eggs that do get laid, and they may start eating each others feathers.

 

[jjredpower]

what about feeding them dog food for extra protein as a treat?
