No, my last name is Oeuf, but it starts with an F, which is what it sounds like when you hear someone say "Oeuf" just right. JeffF looked pretty pedestrian, and since we're talking chickens, I thought I'd try a little multi-lingual play on words. However, you're the first person to get it in 7 months.

Ummm...Your last name IS Oeuf??? I had a stickybeak (hahaha) at your profile, and I think Mr HARRIS, that you are mistaken. LOL I'll allow for a little confusion, but just this once.

Four eggs out of eight able to lay today! I think warm oatmeal helps, also I heard on another thread that cayane pepper helps too.

x2 Maybe it just makes me feel better when it's so cold out there, but I've been making a warm oatmeal/sunflowerseed/scratch mash for the girls each night before the sun goes down. They gobble it up and go to bed with a nice full crop. Still getting lots of eggs and the girls seem active and healthy. Someone on this web site mentioned a hay tea, where he pours hot water over hay and gives it to his hens on brutally cold winter mornings, sounds like a nice plan this winter..........

here are the girls napping and dusting today in the sun, it was
chilly out, they seemed to enjoy the new winter plastic cover
over the wire on the sides of the run

Rhoise, how did you connect the plastic to the outside of the pen? I've got my 3mil plastic and was thinking about using duck tape. (I've got quite a bit of duck tape and it seems to work well on many projects.)
