The chickens are having a hard month, and I'm having a hard month with the chickens.
I actually had to buy eggs this week for the first time in a year.
I love my chickens and I love the eggs they leave me. Through the summer I was getting around
9 eggs a day. When Fall came and the time changed the girls egg laying changed.
Some are molting,and hens don't lay when they molt. Consequently we are down
to 2-3 a day.
We are still talking, me and the girls
and every day I check the boxes and count the eggs and wait for more.
then to make matters worse a hawk killed one of the egg layers yesterday.
I'm in mourning, and the chickens are in fear.
staying close to the coop today.
It can only get better....Right?
