Well, the light has been up for about a week in the coop, hopefully egg production will improve over the next week or so. We did go from 3 a week to nine this week, and 2 more days to go. So maybe it's helping, or maybe it's just a coincidence and they are finally through their molt/moult (never can remember).
Odd thing though, when I went down and counted them, I found I have 3 more than I should have. I keep very good records of my hatching schedule, and sales etc, so somewhere, I really must have screwed up. They look like Australorps too, a variety I'm trying to get rid of. I really like how easy and friendly they are, they just go broody too much. And with our hawk problem, there's really no way I can have setting hens.
Well, maybe someone will want them in the spring. I know it's hard to sell chickens this time of year.
Got to butcher some cockerels over the weekend.
"He who must be Obeyed" tells me there's to much crowing in the pasture. I don't know what his problem is, they only started about ten minutes before we got up - no big deal.
Ok everyone, nighty night to all. Got to go and make some duck soup with cheese biscuits
Hope everyone is well and Happy!
