[QUOTE="wby257, post: 259480, member: 1035"] One yr we keep the hens thru the winter. Never again as egg production is way down unless you heat your coop. We would butcher hens in late Nov early Dec, depending on the weather. I ran mostly Road Island Reds and Americana's. We sold eggs to Swanson health food in Fargo. They would pay us 4.50 a dz and would take in close to 25 dz a week. They really liked the Brown , Blue, Pink and Green eggs we brought in. All organic and free ranging. If they dont get the green grass and bugs you dont get the orange yokes. With just feed you get yellow yokes. We also had Guinea's and Peacocks. We ate a lot of Guinea eggs. and Guinea's main diet in the summer are woodticks. [/QUOTE]
