It is still cold here, I have been getting 2-3 a day out of 4 hens and about 8 pullets. I am so ANXIOUS for them to lay! We had a nasty bout of lice, right while they were molting and the pullets hadn't began to lay yet.... we went about 3 months with NOT ONE EGG. So I guess 2-3 a day is pretty good.

18 out of our 19 Gold Comets today. Happy chickens come from Statesville, North Carolina. They got a lot of greens today because I cut a big bag of collards from the garden and gave them the outer leaves. I gathered a big bunch of them up by the stems and hung them from a string I use to hang a head of lettuce from for them to bat around. For a few minutes they had a collard pinata but only for a few minutes. Pigs with Feathers...
 
A few of my freeloaders has started laying. I am now getting a regular 3 eggs a day. I have 13 Light brahmas, 1 black star (supposed to be roo) and 1 buff orp/X (supposed to be roo). Who ever is laying (I think the 2 mixes) is doing it where they are supposed to in the litterboxes.
