Hi there. Checking in from Clark County. I have 12 hens, and am getting 5-6 chicken berries daily now that the days are getting longer.

Even with days getting longer none of mine have resumed laying and no one looks anywhere close to it either, except 1 bird which is special needs and doesn't lay, sigh.

I only have one pullet laying so far.

That's still one more than me! If even one would lay, that would be enough eggs for me to get by. Instead, I'm eating store bought eggs.

That's interesting. This is may second winter. Like the previous year, I started chicks in the early spring, got a few eggs starting in September or October, and they never completely stopped in the winter. I have gotten 1 or 2 most days through the winter these last two years. The occasional zero egg day. Being a beginner, I assume it's not due to skill or wisdom. No lights in the coop either. Dumb luck I'm sure.

Im getting 3-4 large fowl eggs a day. 3 hens are 1.5 and giving most the eggs. One is 5, two are 6, and two are 9. The 3 pullets should start soon.

The 35 or so silkie hens are starting to lay good if they haven't decided to molt or go broody. Some have. The elderly hens have started there too.
