Maybe it's time to leave an axe mounted on the wall in the hen house to give them a little incentive.....

In the summer we get 12+ eggs a day, but only getting 1 egg a day now. That's normal for this time of year for free ranging birds. You can increase production if you have a light controlled coup. Otherwise you just take what you get.

Todays eggs. Few of the girls are laying in boxed nests.

I'm telling ya I think its the fermented scratch.


What we have left after my wife does egg deliveries.
The 60 counts and the 4dz are in the red bag

We added a solar light to our coop and were able to keep our numbers up pretty high over winter. We also soaked our feed into a wet mash and used hot water in the winter so it was warm when the girls got it.
