How many eggs do you get a day from your chickens?

Spring is here! I got 11 eggs from our 13 today (all still pullets).

We've got 13- 6 EEs, 3 BR; 3 BOs and 1 PR.

All winter, we have gotten no fewer than 6 a day, without using supplemental light. I'm pretty sure upping their protein helped in this regard.... everyone else I know who upped protein during the winter still continued to regularly get eggs. We averaged 7 eggs a day; some days we'd have 8; some days only 6. Yesterday we got 9.... we'll see what we get tomorrow!

8 chickens, first winter about 4-5 a day. 2-3 times all 8. I imagine the egg laying will pick up now summer is approaching.
 
My pullets are just starting to lay. Today we had a record of 8 out of 14. By the behavior of some of the ones we think are not laying yet, we may get more in the coming days.

Is it normal for other hens to sing the eggsong while one or two are actually in the nestboxes laying? Once one started all joined in -- my heavens what a cacaphony.
