SMH.
I have 22, need to get down to 15-16.
I adjust my customers to the supply, rather than the other way around.
The inevitable humidity question, day before lockdown, help please!

SMH stands for 'so many hens' right??SMH.

As to the adjustment, no other choice right? No eggs, no sale! Thankfully the regulars that i have are very patient and understanding if the hens are not obliging. Of course the main thing is that I am doing this for love of it, so increasing the size of my flock is for my benefit as well as those enjoying my eggs. Now that I have discovered that my one and only Double Laced blue Barnevelder is a cockerel
I am still on a quest for a blue laced hen.

This has probably been talked about somewhere else but I don't have time to research right now: does the presence of a rooster increase broodiness?But this does tell you that you will have to factor in broodiness!
Ya know, I’m not sure! But in my experience, I’d say yes.... but I think it’s because the hens want time away from them!
I collected 8 eggs when I got home. Could be a couple more before night fall. Only 1 from the serama pen, which is odd.
My 3 BCM eggs so far.
Size difference looks worse in pic. 47, 49, and 48 grams respectively.

Weights are not bad for pullets! Looks like you are getting a range of color.Ya know, I’m not sure! But in my experience, I’d say yes.... but I think it’s because the hens want time away from them!

I actually squeezed out 13 eggs from my girls today!
Conjures up kind of an interesting picture, doesn't it!! No, no, it really doesn't, never mind!
Yes... yes, it does!

@WVduckchick @aart I have a problem. The chick that I rescued the other day that was all hunched up under a bush, is now all hunched up again. She is alert but unwilling to run about with her hatchmates. She seems to poop fine and it looks normal but she keeps her neck withdrawn and her feathers are all sticking up like she's cold. When I put her back in the 'growing on' brooder the other day, I turned the warm blanket back on as the nights have been getting colder and she was behaving like she needed to be kept warm.
She does not have any injuries that I can see. She can stand and walk but is, as I said, unwilling to do so. She gobbled up some more scrambled egg with yogurt this morning but I am now at a loss as to what can be wrong.
Does cocci look like this before blood in the poop? Can terror last this long?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

It does not seem to from my experience. It is more to do with the hen
Only one of the strains has poop in the blood as a main symptom.
Corid is easy on them and an easy medicine to give them
