Darkness descends and it is only 5:30 pm

The time change is here.....I find it very hard losing the daylight. But there is not much I can do about it. The Red Head chickens are finally starting to have new feathers growing. I was getting only 8-10 eggs a day from them and there are 15 of them. It should be closer to 12-14 eggs a day. The stripped girls are laying pullet/peewee eggs and will for a while. I still sell them but at a lower price. 
​So into the long nights we go!
