The eggs just keep coming!
We are getting a great supply of beautiful brown and green eggs right now. Production is picking up with the longer days. Little known fact: chickens lay more eggs when the days are long and fewer when the days are short. In spring time we get a big pick up in egg production and in winter it dies down. To keep our hens in production through the winter months we set a light on a timer to simulate a little bit longer day length.
