Some of them were using the floor, Patrice suggested they might like privacy. And she showed her boxs with curtains. So I added some privacy. They don't lay× on the floor at all now.

The daily dozen! Nothing wrong with that. Our girls just finished their molt and are back to producing an egg each every other day. About a month ago we had to buy a dozen eggs for the first time in 18 months!

I got those 25 brown sex- link clicks late this year they started to lay smaller eggs but man they are really laying now. Still have a few older birds but they are laying less now then they did before. The smaller eggs have a high number of double yolks 2 out of 3 today were doubles. Good layers but dumb as they can be, every night I have to go out and pick up the stragglers that are to stupid to go back to the coop before dark.

I run a red 250wt heat lamp in a insulated coop but the base give off some white light that I think helps.
