I haven't seen anything different about the eggs in winter, but I will ask her if they lay out of the boxes in the cold weather.<br />We had snow in Phx this last week too.Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072175456185500751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-74561442128919736782013-02-23T06:51:43.567-08:002013-02-23T06:51:43.567-08:00bring kitty in and turn on the heat light in the h...bring kitty in and turn on the heat light in the hen house...<br />Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329289442910294160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-78651343176330848232013-02-22T23:58:11.723-08:002013-02-22T23:58:11.723-08:00We get well below 0 here and if I have any that ar...We get well below 0 here and if I have any that are laying, they seem to lay just fine. The trick is getting to the eggs before they freeze! Luckily the majority of hens lay off that time of year because of the short days. Maybe California chickens just don't have enough fluff for 'long johns'??peteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842363901612535790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-61619776084515145372013-02-22T20:43:12.471-08:002013-02-22T20:43:12.471-08:00I know for us and our chicken history, if it gets ...I know for us and our chicken history, if it gets dark too early then they get disoriented but clearly they lay their eggs in the morning.
