Lost their appetite?

The ladies seem to have lost their appetite. They've been eating about 1/5th of what had become their piggy norm. They're still all over the scraps we give them, but barely touch their food. What gives? Any chicken-folk out there that can set our minds at ease? Or do we have anorexic hens!?

    Hmmm, maybe give them a little more heat? Were they better today with the warmer weather?

    You have an award waiting at my blog!

    Hi! Todd Mills from Local Matters told me about your blog. I have four hens in Clintonville.

    Our girls have been eating a little less these days but I think it's because they 1) decided snow isn't evil and 2) discovered the bird seed spilled by squirrels out of our feeders.
