    Do you sell your eggs for eating?

    I sell mine for $3.00/doz. I know some people in my area who get $4.00 but "out in the country" they only get $1.50. I have large to extra large brown eggs and after I give my mother the largest ones and we keep some, my aunt sells them at her job. Like the other posters, it just depends on...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We got 4 today from our Red Sex Links. There were some weeks when we would only get 3. Today we found out why, there was a hole in the bottom of the pen and the eggs fell out then got covered up when the girls kicked straw out of their coop. The dogs enjoyed the eggs!

    what breed are these hens?

    We aren't sure how old they are either. They are great hens though. The person who had them wanted to get rid of them and we were happy to get them. About a week or so after we got them, they started laying and haven't stopped.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We got 4 eggs from our 4 chickens. We're very fortunate that our girls usually give us an egg a day. It's been raining the past few days and today was overcast. We put them in their tractor in the yard to eat weeds, they loved it!

    what breed are these hens?

    We were given these hens by a friend who they were given to and we don't know for sure what kind they are. Any input would be great. From looking at different pictures, I think they are Red sex links. taking a dirt bath

    So sorry you had this happen. I wouldn't have known what to do. I hope you find out what happened to her. Good luck with the rest of your girls.

    Egg issues

    Hi - I'm new to BYC too, joined yesterday, welcome! I don't have the problem with shells like you are and like others have posted, crushed oyster shells are good to give the hens. You don't give them much compared to the amount of food. We use Purina Layena Sun Fresh Recipe feed and have good...

    This egg is tooo big!!

    we have 4 RIR's and one of them lays jumbo eggs too. Most of our eggs are larger than the large size from the grocery story and don't fit in our cartons either.
