We do! Clearly we need to do something with our excess of eggs, giving them away to family is not working! We have 13 dozen in the house and over a dozen in the barn waiting to be picked out of the hay. I had expected to have fewer eggs over the winter, but my hens didn't let the season get to them and have regularly given us a dozen a day. We have 21 girls (plus one roo!) and one of them is old Midge whom I doubt is laying any. I anticipate more eggs each day, as the days get longer, so we have plenty to go around.
Maybe I should put another batch in the incubator. The first four chicks now have all of their feathers and I just set them loose in the barn today. Maybe I should go check on them to see if they are getting along OK. Plus, the last group of three are starting to get ugly, so they are growing up too!
I'm glad your hens haven't been too affected by the winter...ours have slowed down considerably. We don't have light in our chicken house,or maybe they'd be doing better.
