Now I need to read up on how to encourage her to lay in the boxes instead of outside in the middle of the run!

We got our first egg of the new year yesterday. The chickens are coming out of their light molt and the temps in South Dakota have been really warm for February. I am hoping that all 6 will be laying soon.

Here is what we had to do to get our girls to lay in the nest box. First thing was to remove the nesting pad. Our girls didn't like them. We put pine shavings in their nest boxes and added a lip, a strip of thin wood about 2 inches high across the front of the nest box to prevent the girls from accidentally kicking out the pine shavings. Lastly, we added curtains to the front to give them some privacy or at least the feeling of privacy. Not much privacy with the rest of the flock being nosy and sticking their heads in.

11 today. One of the Marans paid up. They do lay pretty eggs but they don’t produce the quantities that the other girls do.

Edit 2 more just came in. New daily best 13 eggs from 15 girls

I got 5 today and was shocked. It is 32 degrees out and snowing a lot right now. It was cold earlier when I collected so I was not expecting hardly any but maybe the 2 that I had been getting. What a nice surprise this was.
