    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Just heard the fourth song of the day (5 hens total), but someone laid from the roost and it was broken. Must've been a line for the boxes this morning! So, it will be three instead of four. Hopefully they are starting to pick back up from moult/winter.

    About to start laying...Do I have to lock them up?

    Mine always return to the coop to lay...although I don't usually let them out until late morning. Keep fake eggs in the boxes, I think that helps give them the idea. My hens are done laying by noon, so if you feel more comfortable waiting until the afternoon to let them out, that should be fine.

    Egg Shells or Oyster shells

    i keep oyster shell free choice, and when we have eggshells I rinse them out really good and then microwave them for a minute and a half. When they cool, I crush them up really good and add to the dish of oyster shell.
