    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Yesterday I got 11 eggs, the most ever, since we got our flock on the 4th of July. There are 30 chickens total: 5 one-year-old hens, 22 pullets, (the pullets are 22 weeks old) two six-month-old bantams and 3 five-week-old babies. Obviously, some of the pullets are laying. Yay
