The Rain

There seems to be a direct correlation between the weather and levels of egg production. The more it rains, the fewer the number of eggs the chickens produce. Perhaps they get tired of sliding around in the muddy mess that was once my back garden. Or perhaps they have to use all - or more - of their energies keeping warm. Either way, egg production when it's dry is 3 per day, and when it's wet falls to 2. So perhaps just one hen is a fair weather egg layer. How can I be so sure about this? Because I record the number of eggs that are produced on the whiteboard in my dining room. I'm running out of space now. I feel a spreadsheet coming on.
