Cinnamon Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi, I have put this as a new topic for you,so more people will see it What breeds are your big hens - are they pure breeds or hybrids? The bants will be pure breed,so won't lay over the winter months, but if your big girls are hybrids they should continue for you. How old are they too?

tenzin Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 If there youngsters ie .. under 26 months don't worry . When there in full swing you can expect at least 6 eggs minimum per day during the summer , but during the winter most hens drop off anyway with the lack of light ect ..
