Simoman 110 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Got ten Warren hybreds and still getting more than one egg a day each over winter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jessdale 416 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 now each day is getting longer the birds will start and come back into full lay.The birds i hatched last year have just started to lay this past week.I have pure breds and there is a old saying "that you dont get any eggs between bonfire night and valantine day" and ,roughly speaking,its just about right.

DiStuRBeD 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 you could try putting a light near them for a few hours at night, as was said they are somewhat subject to light with laying, and when they are moulting, dont kno wthe seasons over there, here its summer and chooks laying heaps my favourites are the araucanas, with their blue eggs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
