Hopefully your temps start to increase a little and your chooks get back into the swing of laying. We haven't had them attack one yet and hopefully won't - don't know what you do to stop that - hopefully someone will comment with some suggestiuons for you!creations.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06091470077700396841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014100274699311649.post-12375832587198267802017-01-27T14:22:43.523-08:002017-01-27T14:22:43.523-08:00The weather will not be helping at all.

My grandparents always used to string a couple of cabbage stalks snd remnant leAves up in the chicken house to keep them entertained and give some other interest as well as warm bran mash at night before tucking them in. Hopefully it will just be a little dip compared to what it could be.

We currently get two a day from five chooks but with the days getting longer I am sure there will be an increase soon for all of us.Louise Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074355125344865358noreply@blogger.com
