We’re doing about the same production (22+ eggs/bird/month) but as we phase into winter we’re incorporating more silage and alfalfa hay instead of fresh forage. Winter production will drop, but we don’t want to lose the nutrients for the bird or eggs.

What breeds are you running?

We supplemented with Calf Manna last winter, and the hens that had begun laying in the fall kept production up.
