with temps going into the teens at night and 30s during the day and having only about 9 hours of daylight, at 4 2/4 months old hubby has found 2 eggs in the pullet house! i am going to have to check their house several times a day or lose a lot of eggs! we have around 20 pullets. our hens have either taken to new hiding places or they are not laying as much of late. the hens that i have now didnt start laying until about 6 months old and the temps were staying sub zero and with zero light in their house! geesh these alaskan chikcen sure act different! peace connie in alaska |

I misread this as : the bullets have been laying, and I couldn't imagine what it meant, much better that it is the pullets.

Chickens are pretty adaptable, as you now know, lol.
