Winter Producers of Eggs for Older Hens
The article explains that hens over a year old are not always winter producers. A pullet lays winter eggs, but production shifts with age.

Poultry Handling Tips For Dressed Birds And Fowl Care
Advice on processing dressed poultry and keeping birds healthy. Do not pack dressed poultry until heat is out. A light morning feed helps hens stay active. A tablespoon of baking soda in water prevents lower trouble. In winter or confinement, provide grit charcoal and green matter along with regular grain.
