I would be interested to see if you will end up sacrificing taste/quality when you increase production. It doesn't sound like they are going to be natural/free range eggs you like if they are locked in coop without access to range and unnatural lighting. In fact, it is kind of starting to sound like the production houses that produce the commercial eggs that you say you don't like. Many people are now trying to find the balance between nature and production. Joel Salatin is an author/speaker who covers this balancing act in his books and lecture circuit. Interesting stuff, following nature's lead. He would probably suggest getting a few more hens to meet your demand during winter while allowing them to produce at a natural rate. Of course, our chickens of today are nothing like our great-grandparents. They have been selectively bred to the point where they often require a higher protein feed than they could get in nature. So the balancing act begins. Joel isn't just another hippy-nature nut either. He is a family farmer who has made a very respectable living off his farm and book/speaking deals. Hope this post doesn't come off as spam for Joel...I really enjoy his work and just wanted to share some thoguhts. Good Luck! Ryan
