I'd like to know if I'm on to something, or just blowing hot air! ;)Goodwifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09541998872594946053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995084920131564374.post-83591285498779559262010-02-19T01:57:37.246-06:002010-02-19T01:57:37.246-06:00Hi there! I've been hanging around your blog ...Hi there! I've been hanging around your blog a bit, as we're exploring breeding Kinders...but to keep on topic, I live in Alaska, and our chickens are giving us almost a dozen eggs a day, too! We have a heated base for our chicken waterer to keep it from freezing. But, we do have a light on a timer, as well. We did notice a drop in production until we started using the light...to be truly scientific, I suppose you would have to try heating your water without using the heat lamp, perhaps? Let us know what you come up with! <br>(And if you can offer me any comparisons on Kinders vs. Nigerian Dwarf goats-which we have now-regarding milk production and ease of milking, I'd be grateful)!Mark and Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995084920131564374.post-86719075133875889782010-03-31T21:24:05.319-05:002010-03-31T21:24:05.319-05:00Ok, I gotta ask - where does your tiny egg in the ...Ok, I gotta ask - where does your tiny egg in the pic come from? Do you have banties? I don't have any banties ('cept one or two really small hens that I'm suspicious of) and occasionally I'll get a super tiny egg. The Husbdand's grandma told me that means the hen will stop laying altogether - which sounds kinda crazy to me since they're only two years old. I'd always read that hens who are allowed to live a natural lifespan don't really "stop" laying, they just lay fewer eggs as they get older.MilkMaid09http://www.blogger.com/profile/14846718573478772552noreply@blogger.com
