Today has been a "warm" day -- reached into the upper 30s or so. It's the first warmer day since the cold and snow hit. The birds have all weathered the cold okay, but I did have to break ice and haul hot water in. I've kept the light on in the barn 24/7 because we get a fair amount of darkness even now. My EEs have only been gracing me with a single egg from 6 chickens every day or so. Today, I got 3 eggs! The other chickens have been laying steady. I'm hoping that the EEs are done with their stress and we get more eggs. What do you think?
I haven't gotten blue or green eggs for more than a month. I know they've been molting, but their molt is already over! I've got 9 big girls, and I'm getting 2 eggs a day. The 7 month old pullets are laying better than they are, I'm getting about 4-5 eggs a day from 10 of them!
Quote:I have 12 layers and I'm getting about 5-6 eggs a day. The EEs have been on strike for the past 2-3 weeks with only a blue egg every day to every other day. This lack of eggs is making me hungry for chicken soup!
