The chickens continue to thrive and grow. They gained weight under the tender care of our neighbors while we were in Florida. I think they were even laying bigger eggs. Thanks Jim and Amber! Drew put a light in their coop as their egg production had slackened with the shorter days. It goes on at dark for about an hour. I guess egg production correlates with the amount of light that hits their retina. In another month we will give them a break as they probably need a rest until spring.
