How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Worked in coop most of the day and the girls still went 13/14.
I figure it may get a little slow when I bring the next 20 pullets out, but enjoying it while it's good.

1/4... but that one was the first egg from the 3rd hen! So now I know 3/4 are actively laying!

Here is my poor cockerel. We had real cold temps & high winds Saturday night. I covered his coop with a tarp to keep the wind out, but the tarp came about half way off during the night. I brought him & his partner inside the next day. I've added electrolytes to his water. I feel so bad for him! All the other roosters, in a variety of other coops got a little frostbitten, but no where near as bad as him. I have no idea if any of that will heal or not ( I afraid the answer is going to be not). I think his wattles got damaged because they dip into the water dish when he gets a drink & then they must have froze. Sunday all the boys got petroleum jelly rubbed into their combs & wattles & fortunately it wasn't near as windy.
Even his face looks frostbitten. He will be staying inside until he heals (I hope that is what he does!) and it gets warmer outside. I don't want to put him out into real cold weather after he has been in a heated house for a while. Also, no one else is going to be housed in that coop until it gets updated.

I got 5 eggs today & none were frozen.

Are you sure it wasn't caused by the tarp trapping moisture inside the coop?

Oh the poor guy! That's unfortunate, winds are so terrible. The tips on a few of my guys got touched. I'm pretty sure that he will heal with time. My big guy had no nails on his feet when I got him and you can tell the ends of his toes had froze. But he's fine and it doesn't slow him down one bit.

I hope your guy gets through it ok.
