Hey guys! We live in the Ozark Mtns of Arkansas. Right now we have a lot of ice and a little snow. We have a light on our best layers, they seem to be doing pretty good. We are getting 10-12 eggs a day. Yes, our birds don't like the cold. During the molt, we don't get many eggs. Our best layers right now are the brown leghorns (white eggs) and barred rocks (lg brown eggs). We have ours all cooped up in the winter. In the spring and summer we free range but we are hoping to get our chicken tractor finished so that we can rotate with our cows, pigs and goats. It should get very interesting.
