You find your chickens free ranging among the bulbs of Spring; tulips, daffodils and crocuses.
New life emerges from the ground, from buds and from clutches of eggs.

Oh, happy day! I was at Lowes today pricing some fencing and looking at the beautiful flowers – it's definitely Spring!
Spring certainly has sprung around here this week. I love that its still light out at 7:15pm.
Do you put lights in the chicken house in the winter to keep them laying regularly?
Hi Clint! No we do not add light. We just let nature take its course and give the girls a break if they need it. We still get about 4 eggs a day from our 7 girls. It's just a personal choice. There is nothing wrong with supplementing the light.
I would like to try a nite light.
Please let us know how it works out for you tinaking, especially with you egg production.
