My four Leghorn hens are two years old now. For the past few months (cold, dark winter months included) I get one egg a day, two if I'm lucky. That isn't enough to keep my family in supply and I am limited to a small flock. I am struggling with the decision to give away my hens, for the butcher block, and start my flock over, or wait until they die on their own or whatever. I thought they would lay for much longer when I got into this biz. Any insight?
