4 today from my 12. I am hoping they get feathered in pretty soon. I worry that they will get cold. Frankly for the end of November we have had excellent weather. Everybody says to make chicken tenders out of them but I say nay they stay! So i figure we will get new replacements in the spring...
Greetings ! Been awhile since i been on here. Last spring and early summer my 12 hens were laying prolificly. 9-12 eggs a day. Since it got hot this summer the numbers have started to dwindle. As of yesterday i got 1 egg. Much of the flock is molting. Getting colder now with our first snow...
9 from 12 today. I suspect one is going broody as she slept in the nestbox.
*late edit. Found another egg in the nestbox. I shoo'd the hen out of the nestbox and took out aĺl the fake porcelain eggs so she had nothing to mother.
Yesterday my birds got to leave their run into the new electric fence. Our dogs came around and "tested" the fence and scared the pullets. So i got 6 eggs yesterday. Today the dogs were not let out. 12 for 12 today ! 😀
8 from 12 today. Two were cracked. Idk if i did it or the pullets pecked or stepped on them. Thinking of opening another nest box. Right now i have 4 open for my 12.
