You might need to budget on giving them extra lighting.
If I was wanting good winter layers without lights I would want them to be POL for the first week of Aug. After that without extra lights you risk them not starting till spring or performing badly. |

By very soon, I meant laying tomorrow morning. I'm after fully functioning chickens, given the choice.

Stumbling Goat has three very nice young hens, laying reliably and houses fit for a king and all the kit - advert in here somewhere or pm him! | ||

I started down that route, but I was presented with a fait accomplis. A hen house has been organised! I have the electric poultry netting, charger, feeders and drinkers, a coop, a run, nest boxes, even a candling lamp, heater lamp and a growing chicks on cage thingie. Just no chickens.
And Rob, no. Hell has yet to freeze. |

Nothing grand. Simply 3/4 chickens that'll lay a few eggs for us. Really, it's because the kids want them. Next door have around 20 chickens and give us more eggs than we can use already. |
