My father installed one of those lights that come on at sun down and off at sunrise. It was just a few feet from the chicken coop. Those poor birds would nest for 30 mins and be out all night. Even the rooster would crow all night long. Then, go back in and nest once the light went off and be back out 30 mins later. They stopped laying eggs, started dying 1 by 1 and we couldn't understand why. After looking back years later, I often wondered if it was lack of sleep. It still makes me giggle just thinking about it.<br />Thanks for your comment on my post. I really appreciated it!<br />:)That Crazy Ajummahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874359006831711711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24107493.post-10933178483578969372012-01-12T18:55:27.019-08:002012-01-12T18:55:27.019-08:00Are they broody?

They are 6 years old, and even their summer laying was skimpier this past summer than past years. I wonder if they will lay at all this summer. Not sure what I should do, here in a conventional subdivision, with geriatric non-productive chickens -- I do love them, but I really want eggs.<br /><br />Isn't there a children's book about barnyard animals that get hold of a typewriter and take over the farm?
