    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    8/17 with one of the girls being broody and sitting. Sadly, one of the eggs she was sitting on last night was stolen by some kind of critter who dug under the 1/2 inch hardware cloth that covers the whole tractor and lays out on the ground around it. I feel so badly because we just candled...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    13 out of 17. Two were cracked, though. My husband doesn't like to give the girls in the tractor much in the way of shavings in the nest box, and they circle and circle, and scratch and pick, and lay their eggs from a standing position onto bare wood. We get at least one cracked one per day...

    For the first time, seven out of nine chickens. One of the chickens, maybe even two might be roos, so that means virtually everyone laid an egg today!!!

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Yesterday we had six out of nine birds (probably a closet roo in the bunch), and today we had five out of the eight who could lay. A pretty green egg each day from our Dora, the EE, and a pink one today. Not sure who that is from.

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I have nine birds--possibly one rooster in there---and five of them are laying. I got four out of five today! Actually I should check out there again when I put them to bed. I might find one more. Christina
