This time of year is a little rough for the farmer that believes in the natural process of things. Chickens molt in the fall, use their energy to bring in feathers and keep warm. What that means is they drop their egg production to use the energy in other places. Farms that produce mass production egg farms, keep their chickens on heat and lots of light, disrupting their natural of things. We don't do that to our chickens so that equates to a drop in egg production.
We are lucky to get one egg a day from 47 hens these days!
