Well the chickens are 1/2 time laying, and they aren't a year old yet. Of the 7 chickens, 3 polish and 4 aurcanas chickens, I am getting 2 green eggs per day. I read an article on my friend's blog: http://livinghealthyinthemodernworld.blogspot.com/2011/12/egg-shortage.html I posted a comment that I am thinking the shortage is due to the lack of light. Chickens need 12 - 14 hours of light in order to lay. I am going to let my chickens continue to rest and molt, and put a light bulb on a timer in their house in Jan or Feb. I am thinking I should be able to get a outdoor timer pretty cheap. I had seen they are selling them for Christmas decorations.
Sorry, but I am going to add that if they don't start laying regular, we will cull the flock. For many years I had issues with eating my chickens. They have been like pets. Now with this corn allergy I am looking at them more as food/meat. Its very hard to find uncontaminated meat. The meat industry has become so unsafe. I think due to their size, and greediness that they wash all the meat with citric acid made from corn. Therefore I now need to look at my chickens as roasters! Breaded and fried. Again sorry if that sounds sick, but I really need to change my mindset.
