15/24 today, girls weren't quite so happy when I let them out this morning. Here is what awaited them, they all put the breaks on at the pop door, had a 26 bird pile up lol.

4 so far, including two from the Silkies. Expecting one more, but I have the feeling one of the sex links has started to lay her eggs in the woods while she is out cruising.

Lol might be, I have a new this spring BSL that only after two weeks of laying decided to go broody. She definitely did not like the broody buster cage.

Frozen water, but the girls managed to give us 16!!

Chicken lady, you can keep that stuff up there, thank you very much! Lol.

The Weather Service is looking at a "major snow event" for the Midwest next Wed/Thur. I hope they are wrong.

That's what my driveway gate looked like, Matt. I had to shovel around both sides of gate to get it open to get to the barn. Not good. So I'm liking my mild so far winter.

I hear ya.I originally wanted to put the coop back there and incorporate part of the barn in it.

So your lay rate is 62%, mine is 51%-59% (I get 14-16 eggs a day), and you are in Maine, which is even further North than me. How many hours of daylight are you getting? I get 8, and I do not use lights.

I don't know, probably about the same. Mine are wyandottes, new layers, I don't use any light in the coop. They lay 4 eggs most days five now and then.

You know, everyone talks about "white as snow" but I don't think there are prettier blues in the world than the blues associated with a snowy landscape. I love them all, from the pewter of a winter sky when the sun is trying to shine to the intense blue of a stream flowing under and around snow covered boulders.
