For the most part, my chickens have either stopped laying entirely or have slowed down so considerably that we're getting only two or three dozen eggs each week. That's not nearly enough to satisfy our regular egg customers. I'll be contacting my egg customers this week to let them know that we will suspend egg deliveries until egg production is back up.
Last week I bought 12 female day-old chicks. They will be added to my layer pen in the spring. Hopefully getting the new layers will keep us from experiencing the severe drop in egg laying next winter. We also have a few older pullets that will be reaching laying age over the next couple months. So the future is looking brighter for egg laying here at Dogwood Trace Farm.
