How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

A chicken has a body core temp of 106 F degrees and corn during digestion creates heat so the chicken is even getting hotter so to keep the animal cooler in the hotter time of year cut down to corn in the evening or not at all ......

thank you. I will remove that ingredient from my ff.

When the tempters drop back under 90F degrees it will be safe to go back to cracked corn ...

I have two hens that are a year old and collected two eggs from them and I have seven pullets w/three of them laying at 19 wks and collected three eggs from them so a total of five from five layers. My two R. I. Reds were the first pullets to start laying - they were only 17 wks. old. The next is a Wheaten Ameraucana at 18 wks. I am waiting for two Black Austrolorps, one French Maran and one Ameraucana that is a pretty ginger color.

6 eggs yesterday out of 8 hens. One is broody, and our awesome splash Marans took a much deserved day off.

The best news is that our red sex-link hen is back to laying again. Exactly a month ago she was egg bound and stopped laying. She's been laying an egg with no shell once a week since then. For the last two days she's laid an egg with a shell, although it was too thin to save and the eggs broke as soon as she stepped on them. She's also been doing her egg song, so I'm very happy that she's feeling good again.

Our huge RIR pullet will be 15 weeks on Monday. She already weighs over 4 pounds and has a red comb and face. It is very hard to tell her apart from the older hens at this point. It won't be long before she's ready to lay. So exciting!

When the tempters drop back under 90F degrees it will be safe to go back to cracked corn ...  

Is the same thing true with BOSS?
