Hi from Eugene. Our three barred rocks gave us three eggs today.

I've been tracking their laying for three months now. How much of a sample do you want?

I've been tracking their laying for three months now. How much of a sample do you want?

Number of hens between 26 weeks and 4 years (don't count any that are broody), how many eggs are laid each day. I started on Jan 1st., but you can start any time. And I need to know what city you live in so I can calculate the daylight time. I'll be collecting data for about 10 weeks.

Thanks

I'm actually having a lot of fun now charting my girl's egg laying

and I will definitely keep it up past the 10 weeks. I added additional info to mine such as high and low temperatures, just for funzies. Will email you the spreadsheet of mine at the end of 10 weeks! It seems like the data will prove very enlightening (hah, was that a accidental pun?).

My girls have a pair of big windows in their coop, so they have access to the natural light as soon as the sun rises. So no delay of sunlight here!

I'd be happy to help! Please note that I have some young-ish chickens that may skew your numbers somewhat...

I'm not far from Eugene myself! I'm just about an hour East of you. What a small world!
