Yep, it's a fact, surprised the hell out of me too. Got them begining of
April last year, they started laying about a fortnight after they arrived
and haven't stopped since. I read all about them in books and on the net and
expected them to stop laying for the winter, or at least for the shorter
days, but no...they have laid consistantly every day, every one of them
without a break.

Hi there

I have posted this in england.rec.gardening also, Im not sure if thats
allowed but Im hedging (scuse the pun) my bets

Im living in Ireland in the South East midlands. I have quite a bit of
land,
almost an acre and mostly in grass and shrubs, I have young children so
most
of the grass is used for their play areas. I have 6 chickens also who
roam
freely and reward me daily with half a dozen eggs.

6 eggs daily, from 6 free range chickens at this time of the year???

Must be the luck of the Irish!

Sorry, but "I think not" I had 400 under controlled environment and
didn't get that result.

Mike
