Wow man! that is a lot of chickens and not a lot of eggs. I get just about an egg a day from each chicken Eric. I noticed from some of your videos you seem to live in a mountain area so I was thinking the sun drops fast at your house?

I am sure you love your girls and it is a gift having them anyways:)

AdminEric "Chickenman" or "Palletman" OFFLINE Expert Member Posts: 81 Good Job(s): 26	Yeah, we're in the mountains of AZ. 7000' elevation, and when the sun goes down, it does go fast and the temp goes right along with it! That being said, I actually got 2 eggs today!
