Thought I would post a couple of recent picks - a great daily egg haul of 11 eggs (we still have one BO hen brooding - have not broken her yet), and a pic of our two RIR's with their aprons on. We are currently getting 9-11 eggs per day. The white-looking egg is actually light blue, from an EE. The green egg is from the other EE.
The five hens we aproned all got used to them fast, and not one apron ever fell off. Highly recommend the aprons sold on-line by Louise's Country Closet. They seem to be doping the trick, and coupled with the red IR bulb on a timer in the coop, the tail feathers are growing back! My siblings think it is kind of funny that I would go so far as to make my chickens wear aprons, but the colors really brighten up the flock! Have a great weekend.
