How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

No it's from either a RIR,BR,or DOM. Most likely a RIR.My BR's and DOM's egg usually are a lighter color

ok so I'm not good with adreviations. What is a BR & DOM stand for? Lol. My RIR's don't lay that dark of a color egg.

Haha I even have BR's, I've gotta print out the abv cheat sheet that is on this site. My granddaughter always teases me about not remembering texting abv, lol. My BR lay a lighter egg as well, I don't have any DOM'S so I will put my money on them, lol.

Once again, 1 out of 4. We're down to 3 eggs in the fridge. If these girls don't start producing more than 1 a day, we're going to have to purchase eggs from the store. Yuck. We even have supplemental lighting although it's not one that slowly brightens. When it turns on, it's instantly at full light so not sure if that's affecting them or not. It also could be the snow on the ground - they HATE it!

Scott, one of my coworkers said he's had really good luck by adding a couple of teaspoons of cayenne pepper to the chicken feed. Sounds strange but whatever works, right?

And I'll go without eggs before I'll buy store bought. Hrmph! So there!

I have 2 Infared 125 watt infared bulbs on a timer and my hens are doing well. Do you have an infared you can try? I may take 2 or 3 days before you notice it.
I got my lower wattage bulbs at Rural King don't know if there is one where you are.
Good Luck

The chickens appreciate it if you lay straw along the paths they normally use when it snows.
