How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Great question. We have 9 hens and have been getting 8-9 per day. Suddenly, the number dropped to 3-4 per day. I'm wondering if our heat wave is a factor. Is in the 90's.

My friend sprinkled crushed red peppers into the chicken feed and every bird gave her eggs for a week.

Something about the peppers acting as a natural cleanser. Not sure lol. Wonder if that would give you spicy eggs

Yesterday my neighbor called me to see the nest of 24 eggs she found in the woods between our homes. She had a new AC installed and the chickens were at her house, attreacked to haveing people around, I assume.

We thought their production dropped because of a heat wave. We have 9 hens, and we were seening only about 4 eggs per day. Mystery solved

I'm going to look for some glass or wooden eggs to leave in there usual nesting bed.
