9 Chicken egg's today
I have separated 8 hens and put them in a control group for the biggest reason most had one problem or another from a thorn in the foot to feather picking and today I discovered one had lost sight in one eye due to a sticker that was removed from behind the eye so she will now be in the control group or a coop as she will be bate in a free range situation .....
Free range chickens 5 egg's
Control group 4 egg's
Temp was 114 F degrees today
It seems the Molted Houdan's produce five egg's each week ...
Russian Orloff's are about three egg's each a week .....
Easter Eager's one egg every other day ....
Marans one egg every three to four days ....
That is from the control groups collection stats over the last two weeks ....
One thing I am finding is the control group hasn't any roosters but one Guinea Roo to keep order and the hens are much calmer then the free ranger's and there are 13 hens in the free range group .....
One more thing everyone gets the same feed .....
