Thanks for your reply! Here some pictures. There's a moldy appearance at the trunk and some other signs as you can see...

My walnut tree of around 5 meter height has this hollow twigs with a web like thing as can be seen on the pictures. Anyone knows it?
Online, with Google lens, I found fungal disease Xylosandrus compactus but no idea if that's it...

Thanks!!!

that's interesting Gabe!
thank you!

Thank you for sharing your experience!!
I decided to let them rest, and giving them light again perhaps in january if they still don't produce any eggs.

Hi!

I'd love to hear your opinions about this:

I have 14 chickens, 2 of which are hybrids, saved from the egg industry, the others are more wild . They were laying lots of eggs during summer, but now the days get shorter they all completely stopped laying except for the 2 hybrids.

I can prolong the days by keeping a light shining in the evening until for example 10pm, but I only want to do this if I can assume that it would not force the hens so much that their life quality depends on it.

A way-in-between could also be to discontinue the evening light during 2 months (dec-jan) ?

All ideas welcome!

Jasper
