Something unusual happened here today

Nothin like goin into town just to buy a bag of chicken feed... and a dozen eggs.

My freeloaders are finally starting to produce. I have 27 hens and 4 roosters. I'm getting up to 13 eggs a day, usually around 8.

But since I'm not home during the day they don't get their exercise time out in the yard so they are going through the food.

I imagine that part of the reason I am not getting eggs is BECAUSE they are out in the yard and may be hiding them. I need to do a good hunt for eggs tomorrow now that I'm not working dawn to dark. I am fairly sure though, that there haven't been many eggs or my dog would have found them and I would have found the shells all over the yard. Plus the penned birds were not laying either. So now we wait and watch.

Mine aren't laying yet, but I've got them on a light from 5am - 6:10pm, which is about 14 hours, somewhere around what they were getting before winter hit.

Thanks! We got our first Marans eggs yesterday. How exciting. So now I have Speckled Sussex, White Orps, Marans, and Buff Orps laying. How 'bout the Easter Eggers? It would really make my son's day if they would start laying. Free loaders LOL!
