Fall is here in New England. The days are shorter now, the leaves are beginning to change and the weather is considerably colder too, especially over night and into the mornings.

These changes have had an effect on Lucy, Ethel and New Honey or rather on their egg production. This is normal with the sorter days and cooler temperature. Their age plays a role in this too and they're no longer young pullets but rather old hens. Lately, if we're lucky we'll get one or two eggs a week, uugh! Their days just might be numbered...

New Honey is pictured above earning her keep and in the process of laying an egg. Don't tell Garelick Farms that we're "borrowing" one of their milk crates for a chicken nest box...
