Light Sussex vs. Light Brahma for Winter

[ManitobaQuail]

I have 4 Light Brahmas and they dealt with my cold Wyoming winter just fine last year. What I haven’t liked about them is their suceptibilty to pests. They had the worst of the poultry lice and now they have scaly leg mites. Our Buff Orps and EEs have way fewer pests than the Brahmas.

Did the Brahmas lay all winter with/without supplementary light?

Did the Brahmas lay all winter with/without supplementary light?

Yeah, I think so. Their eggs look the same as my Orps’ eggs so I don’t know who was laying for sure but I did get a minimum of 3 eggs a day from my 12 total hens. (4 Brahmas and 8 Orpingtons)
