The ducks are still not laying - the books say they won't start again until mid winter.
The quail have stopped laying also, I don't know why.
About 1/2 the laying hens are molting so their production is down. Only 4 eggs a day on average. With 8 hens that is less than ideal.
But one of the cochins left us a tiny gift (we suspect one of the frizzles) All 5 of them should start laying this month. (although Hubby suspects that the 2 frazzles are roosters - they don't crow but their posture is more upright than the other hens and they are more assertive.)
Either way I better have more eggs daily in time for holiday baking!
