You know as fate would have it my frizzle 'rooster' ended up being a girl after all! Once I realized that I was kicking myself for giving the other frizzles up! The other chick I kept was a boy though and he is GORGEOUS, so it all worked out!
 
That does it!!! My chickens are being cut off of renters leftovers. I am thinking now that they are just too fat (and lazy) to produce eggs! AND, they are getting way too much junk food. I had been letting the renters give the chickens certain leftovers, but not any more! The day before yesterday, I only got 1 egg. Yesterday ZERO! yes, ZERO from 50 chickens! Yes, I know I have a lot who are still molting, and some chickens are too young and some are too old, but ZERO, really!!! I also know that the daylight hours are only 11:56 today, so my thoughts were to wait another week (since so many are still in their molt) or so and then add the light on a timer to give them 14 hours of light.

Speaking of diets, I watched the documentary, FED UP. It is about obesity in our society. Obesity has only been around for 40 years. It is because of all the hidden sugars in EVERYTHING! You can download the full version of it on YouTube or on Netflix. Everyone should see this. Especially if you have kids! I have started cutting sugar out of my diet. A woman should only have about 25 grams of sugar a day. To put that in prospective, one regular can of coke has 39g!!! Artificial sweetners are just as bad for you and does the same bad stuff to your body as sugar does.. Sugar has the same additive powers that Cocaine does! And sugar detoxing is as hard as stopping smoking, you go thru all sorts of withdrawals! Please watch it!!!!

Then I watched a show called FOOD MATTERS. It is about how the government sides with big drug companies (and really don't want people to be healthy) because there is no money in healthy. Only in sickness. The drug companies want you to get 'hooked' on their drugs. The show documents many things that researchers have found, only to be trashed because it would cause drug companies to lose money!

Anyway, since Monday, I've only lost 1.2 pounds, but I will continue to do with my diet cokes and sugars! That's the hardest for me....no diet cokes or sugar in my tea! Water only! Went thru some aches and pains and some mild depression as my symptoms of sugar withdrawal! Wish me luck!
 
During the winter I just leave the light on all night. My chickens have a roost by the back door that they love. So I leave the back porch light on. I also make sure they get extra protein and calcium. If they are being fed too much crap, they may not be getting enough protein and calcium and on top of that molting... some of my chickens started molting and even the ones that weren't due started. It's like a chain reaction. My chickens in pens are still laying like champs. My yard with the free rangers however? Looks like a feather bed exploded. I give them some dog food when they're growing in feathers for extra protein. They love it. I know the feather fixer food for when they molt is higher protein than the normal layer pellets I feed. So instead of spending extra cash... I toss out dog food. I already have that on hand. Whenever they eat a lot of their calories from sources other than layer pellets I make sure they get extra calcium and protein.

That is added sugars, look for these names, Simple sugars are called monosaccharides and include glucose (also known as dextrose), fructose, andgalactose. The table or granulated sugar most customarily used as food is sucrose, a disaccharide. Maltose is sugar from grains, sucrose is from fruits/veggies lactsose is from milk, if your wanting to use a sugar substitute use Stevia, stay away from the pink and blue packets, yellow is ok,

Want to see something really nasty? Google "pink slime" you would be amazed where this stuff is found. "pink slime" “low-grade beef trimmings and other meat by-products such as cartilage, connective tissue, and sinew.” It is used as a filler or to lower the fat content of beef. Part of the processing involves spraying the trimmings with ammonia or citric acid to kill bacteria,

Want some McD's burgers now, lol
