I'm wondering if I'm the only one who keeps track of how many eggs I get each day. I built my coop and introduced hens to it January of this year and have kept track of how many eggs I get every day and haven't missed a day since day one. Am I the only one who does this?

Thank you:) DH thought I was nuts when I put a spreadsheet on the fridge two days ago......... the day we found our first egg. He said it was my German heritage surfacing:lol:. So far I only have one hen laying, pretty soon I'll need to figure out who laid which egg:/
 
My spreadsheet for my egg count has notes regarding the weather in regards to possible reasons for egg production fluctuations! Nobody can say we're NOT thorough!

I kept track for probably the first six months or so, then gave it up as we had more pressing matters. I put a huge star on the calendar when we got our first green egg, though. I may start tracking it again, though, as we have many more laying now.
 
I keep track of how many eggs we get every day. I even break that down. I keep track of how many small eggs (from our yearlings), leghorn, ameraucana, bantam, and pullet. I then do an average for the week.

At the end of the month I write down the total number and bantam total to get the total number of sellable eggs.

My husband thinks I'm crazy.

A lot of the stuff I've read acutally says you should keep track cuz then you can detect problems. I think it's kind of fun too. Our pullets just started laying last month and it was pretty cool to see that at the end of the month the 16 of them had laid over 250 eggs!

You know, sometimes it is nice just to come on here and to see that I'm not the only person that actually loves my chickens. I get so much joy out of taking care of them. I have a chronic illness that will also flare up and sometimes those girls are the only reason I get out of bed. It's nice to be needed and to see their happy faces every day!

1 Mon, 1 Fri, 4 today(Sat), of course my wife does the egg math, I only do chicken math. I gave 7 birds away so that means I'll have to get 25 in the spring, maybe 50.
