Egg Production Down

Egg Production has been down the last few days. We actually got 11 Eggs today, which is more than we have gotten for several days.

Melanie says that she has been using the "light" in the Hen house inconsistently. She thinks the Hennies may be confused. A lot of times, the light was left on because it kept the water from freezing. But who would want to sleep all night long with the light on? We sure don't. When the light is left on, the Hennies are sometimes harassed by the Young Rooster. Freddie, the older Roo, doesn't do too much harassing anymore.

Next year she may actually not turn on the light.
