winter eggs

[Birdie Wife]

i can't find the link now, but it was something to do with the daylight hours yes, but mainly because they have less time to eat worms and slugs and caterpillars and stuff (protein), and cos theres less around, it reckoned that if you increase the protein as if they were foraging for insects you can keep them laying more.

Makes sense!

I have a low light in Chookenham on a timer from 3 until 9pm it helps them keep a little warmer (they huddle under it) before they roost for bed time and they do seem to be using the roost to huddle as the newspaper underneath is seriously dirty every day.
