Eggs!
We realized we butchered the wrong chickens! Bah!
I had to buy eggs this weekend because the lazy ladies out in the layer hen house haven't given up the goods in days. Not one egg.
So you can imagine my surprise when I was cleaning out the meat chicken pen in the garage and I found... eggs.
Yep. It's pretty bad when your meat chickens are your best layers.
Chicken!
Those slackers out in the hen house had better get with the program or they will end up in the skillet.Happy Monday everyone! Are your meat chickens laying eggs? What about your laying hens?

Hi!
Try giving your layers a bit more protein - meal worms, scramble a few eggs (they love something warm in cold weather). I've even heard (and tried) shaking out a bag of cat kibbles will provide some missing minerals from their diet,
hey anon! thanks and yep we just need to get a bag of layer mash. they were producing pretty well and then tanked. i think once our seasons sort themselves out that we'll be back in business again. we also stopped having the light on b/c we thought we were past that point. it was just funny that our meats were laying instead! ha!
My layers have just started laying again! We got the first egg a few days ago. Now we are getting one or two a day. I thought they were amazing last year because they kept laying all winter but my brother told me it's just that they are young.
yep PJ, you just cant shut younger hens down!. my older gals are really hit or miss.
