Oh I forgot to say, the extra light is working. We got eight eggs today, a lot more then before. The production should keep going up from here.

Well that's awesome!

Nice! I have always considered adding light to increase production. Glad to hear it helps!

It helps a lot. I would suggest doing it, even though it is kind of a pain to turn on and off and set it up, its worth the increase in egg production.

Just letting you know that...


...In spring 2014 I am hoping to breed Barred Plymouth Rocks and Salmon Faverolles, as well as getting trios and pairs of new breeds of birds from the local breeders around here. I certainly have the room for more birds. We calculated it once and I think I have room for sixty more birds. I probably won't get that many though because I only have so much room in my little Brinsea incubator and I don't have money for twenty trios of Langshans. haha. For the new breeds I'm thinking I'll get some Chanteclers, Langshans (maybe), Orpingtons, and Wyandottes, although I have a list as far as the eye can see, that includes Turkeys, Quail, Pheasants, all types of poultry. hehe.

Bottom Line: I NEED MORE BIRDS!

Just wondering, is anyone here breeding Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks or Partridge Plymouth Rocks?

Sweet! Chanteclers, Wyandottes, and Orpingtons are good choices! Although, Langshans are great but they have some breeding problems. Let me know how this breeding venture goes! . We have one PPR but we don't breed them.

Good to know! I'm hoping I can get some Langshan's and improve the breed. I'll keep you posted. Ah I see, you should breed.

Moved Cosette to be with the rest of the flock, I hope all goes well.
