Chicken Tender
I want to hatch some chicks in February, so that by the time they are out of the brooder, it will be Spring. But the problem is getting the eggs out of my hens in December. I have one hen in particular that I want chicks from, so it's really important that she lay as many as possible in a week's time. What should I do to maximize winter egg production and fertility? I have heard that lights can be dangerous. What do you guys do?
