How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

I'm going to do a little experiment: I'm going to put feed in the upstairs every night between 8 and 9 PM ...... they act like they are starving when I go to shut them up ....... I think they are not eating between sundown and 10 PM when the lights go out.
 
Thursday

but when I went out to check on the lady's there were three crows sitting on the fence and two of the crows had an egg in their beaks so I guess I was lucky to have gotten the eggs I did get .......

so I spent most of the day working on one a can one of my sisters kids gave up on and it only needs the clutch changed out and them little Toyotas are fairly easy nothing heavy ...............
 
I have made a point of getting up earlier to get the light on in the coop while we figure out the timer we bought for it. I still keep one red heat light on with my problems I don't always sleep at night but it was causing chickens to be sporadic I think.
