mockingbird | I wouldn't normally post an "alert post" (sorry if it's breaking any rules), but I've been on only intermittently lately and want to ensure that Juni (and Randall ) check/s over in LoL. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device.

mockingbird | Sweet! Two of our hens are laying now, too. 6-10 green eggs a week The Welsummers are taking their time. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device. Please excuse all outrageous typos and confusing auto-corrects. |
juniperb | Hey thats great! Chickens require 14 hrs of daylight to lay super so we are on the downhill slide. Get lights and fool the biddies ------------------ We dance around the ring and suppose, but the secret sits in the middle and Knows Robert Frost |
mockingbird | Do you think a little solar jobbie would do the job? I'm not sure that running power out to the coop's in the offing this Fall. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device.

Randall | Green eggs! All we need now is green ham. ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you." Rebecca Clark |
juniperb | Hmmm, solar wouldn`t do the job here. I guess it depends on your ratio of cloudy to sunny days there. Here it is too bitter (-10) and the biddies would freeze to death w/out heat lamps. Is it possable early winter to run a weather proof extension cord to the coop? That`s what I did before the electric to it was installed. Side note. I was given a couple bushel of deformed carrots (not marketable) so I threw 1/2 in the hen yard and my usual light green eggs are comming out pretty pinkish ------------------ We dance around the ring and suppose, but the secret sits in the middle and Knows Robert Frost |
mockingbird | We're not neeeearly that cold here, though I may try to run something out for our coldest mid-winter nights (teens or so). That's HILARIOUS re: your eggs I'll have to try that. Do you have any Welsummers? My biddies of that stripe still aren't mature. The EEs sit down quite nicely when I go to move them (F was icked out when I told him why they sit down for us now), but the Wellies still run around like goofballs. http://instagr.am/p/QAUKELoWdy/
