The East Winds had kicked in hard, however, the older Welsummers have mostly completed their moult and with a light in their coop that kicks on at 4:00 a.m., they are starting to lay again. We have gotten two in the past few days.
The younger hens are not very egg oriented yet, and we are only getting 1, some times 2 eggs per day from them. I know that a factor is the cold cold temps. We have put the water warmer out to keep the waterers from freezing overnight and to keep the water a bit warmer during the days. We have not, yet, started closing up the coops at night, but if it drops down into the 20s at night, we will. The younger girls had kicked their light out of the socket, so that might also be a factor. Got the light back in, moved the coops to a new location and now they have some fresh grass to munch on.
