Winter doesn’t have to mean empty egg baskets! In this episode, we’re breaking down the shockingly simple, fast, and easy secret to keeping your chickens laying eggs all winter long. Most chicken owners think cold temperatures or shorter days are the main problem — but the real reason your hens stop laying is something totally fixable: they’re not getting enough protein.

When the weather drops, your hens burn extra energy to stay warm, and egg production takes a backseat unless you boost their nutrition. And the good news? Improving winter laying is easier (and cheaper!) than you think. In this episode, I share exactly what to feed, how much protein they need, and the best low-cost protein boosters you can start using today to keep those eggs coming steady through the cold months.

If you want a practical, doable homestead win this winter… this is it!
