10/15 but two of the 15 are 6 years old and only lay when I threaten them with the stew pot. The weird thing is my guinea hens have started laying again. I thought they had stoppped for the season in October until we started getting surprises in mid Dec. Very cold here in Mid-coast.
18 out of my 19 Gold Comets again! Starting to sound like a broken record. The Gals are real troopers. We're supposed to get a wintery blast starting tomorrow through Saturday so we'll see how they hold up for their first real cold and possibly snow.
I have nine birds--possibly one rooster in there---and five of them are laying. I got four out of five today! Actually I should check out there again when I put them to bed. I might find one more.
There is some major slackin' going on here - I think I need to do what my dad did- he hung a KFC bucket from the ceiling of his coop with the note that read- "eggs or else"!
It worked- turns out chickens can read
9/25 the ol' gals must be taking their Christmas vacation early oh well I guess they deserve a break they really laid very well for me this past year, no complaints in the executive dept. They've all got their bonuses coming for Christmas.
