The eagles leave my chickens alone. The ducks out on the pond are easier targets.

Fft. Seagull sound more vicious. Eagles sound like overgrown robins

Hello, I hope everybody is staying warm. I had a question about egg laying. I have three chickens that were born in March and three that were born in June. The ones born in March were laying eggs for a while but haven't in over a month. And the ones born in June have not laid any eggs. Is it the short days and cold weather that's keeping them from laying? I don't provide artificial light or heat. I'm just a little confused because my first chickens I ever got, 3SLW's, laid through the entire first year without stopping including the winter. So I'm just a little surprised that I'm not getting any eggs right now from any of my chickens.

Yes. Light and cold. Only a few on my ameraucana are laying in my big girl pen. Plus all the silkies who only slow a little at this time of year

Mine have a red light and white one the white is on timer on at 5 off at 8
but mine have slowed I have 18 of age to lay got up to 16 at first never
again till spring now numbers will go back up my two home girls will lay maybe even
get to 18

So anyone in the Graham/Puyallup area want to spend all day at a poultry in Monroe on March 18th? I'm thinking of entering some birds again so will be driving up anyway. Have to leave here at 6:00am if I remember right to make coop in. Then can leave after coop out.

I just have a pickup with a tiny back seat so probably only room for one person. The bird carriers will be in back seat as well.

Seems that a pair of huge ravens have moved into the neighborhood.
