I was starting to panic (ok I had already been panicking) about the chickens not laying for the past 5 months.
We increased their calcium and placed plastic Easter eggs in the nesting boxes a few days ago. (filled with sand and taped shut)
Well it worked, we got 2 green eggs on St. Patrick's day, one egg Sunday and 3 eggs yesterday. I hope this means we'll be getting back into a good supply of eggs again. I really had hoped to be incubating eggs by now. I was starting to worry we'd have a freezer full of chickens instead of eggs.
We took Spock, our new kitten, to the vet yesterday to be neutered. The conversation with the younger kids, about why he was there, was quite interesting LOL!

{ 12:35, Thursday 22 March 2007 } { Posted by Rhen }Remember- chickens will take a break from egg laying for a few months and if all of your chickens are the same age it will happen at the same time. We try to have chickens several months apart so when one group takes a break from laying we are still getting eggs from the others.
Thank you Rhen
