    Eggs. So far 9 per day for 20 hens/pullets. Not bad for winter, though they laid later than expected(expected laying 5 weeks after purchase and it had been 15 weeks at least.)

    For 8 hours of daylight, not bad.

    And yeah, I suspected coryza and they still breathe raspily, but the chickens are surviving and laying, so I will keep them till they drop dead I guess, they don't show any signs of flesh growths or stuff...yet. We’ll see.

    Cracked 9 eggs today, 8/9 is definitely fertile, only the deformed, huge one with giant yolk was hard to tell. So the rooster have been doing his job very well even in winter. 🤔

    Also Strippy’s eggshells is pretty thin. She’s new to laying so...but still, not sure if that would be optimal for incubation, but she had an egg that was good weight and size to hatch. I also got a few “overabundance of calcium” eggs, which was thick and dusty, and way too dirty to incubate.

    Got 6 eggs yesterday! Had been going home late so I collect eggs late and the day kept getting shorter and darker, tsk.

    First time getting cream eggs this week! My pullets is starting to lay(suspecting tricolors or Wyandottes)

    Previous daily yield: 2-4 eggs. Currently:3-5.

    Note to self: My Wyandottes also make unique vocalizations. Remember that. Sounds like whining.

    Another picture of the tricolor duo.

    Note to myself: My wyandottes’ tail feathers are very wavy, thin and the feather curled downward like a crescent. None of the other chickens’ feathers do that. Their hackle feather is also very poofy and airy. But the rest of the feather (body)is tighter and less downy than the other chickens. From what I’ve seen, not all Wyandotte is like that, so it maybe an unique region standard.
