It feels and tastes so good to be eating the eggs from our girls, I agree!
I was really worried and almost caved by putting heat in the coop last night, but after reading several threads on heating i held off. Very glad to see all the girls chipper and full of it this morning at 6am eating...
My pullets sometimes sing for others that have layed just before they lay, possibility? Although, we have seen 2 eggs from one pullet 3 times since they started laying in August. I didn't believe it till it happened to us!
Hi Everyone! kinda fell off the radar for a bit(vacation/busy) glad to see the chicken world revolves without me, LOL.....
Worried about our cold temps of late(0-20 degrees F) girls seem good, moving a bit slower in the snow and cold temps but laying up a storm!! Added a few flakes of straw in...
7,7,6,7,7,7,7......From seven pullets, loads of eggs....... my goofey gals are like night hawks, cat caught a mouse after dark yesterday evening and was standing by the back door with wide eyes trying to get in because the girls were running around the yard trying to steal it away from her ewwww...
Definitely sounds like more than one bird is laying with different sizes and colors, and possibly a maturation issue with light pink combs also. I'm sure come spring you'll be swimming in eggs, only two weeks till the Winter Solstice, and the days will slowly begin to get longer again yay...
7,7,7,7,5,7,7 eggs out of my 7 busy girls stellar week Ladies! I'm humbled by how well they are producing after doting and worrying so much when they were younger that they'd never lay an egg, now they are paying for their feed and then some. Did everyone see the Purina coupons for $10 off two...
Hi Ashley,
Light is the #1 major factor that effects the laying cycle. In NC today, the daylight hours only lasted around 9hrs and 50 mins, you just moved your girls from their home coop 16 days ago, and they are most likely a bit disoriented. One day of added light won't do the trick just...
HEY HEY HEY....LOL..... my girls come in to visit, but I'm fully aware they are not wanting to be cuddled, there just happens to be a big clear plastic tub full of scratch grain just inside the dinning room door heh heh heh, as another fellow backyarder said to me when I was feeling upset about...
Hi Rhode Island,
That is cool.....before I had this 2 egg in one day thing happen to me, i would have totally been skeptical, never heard such a thing, but now I know it's possible first hand! Did ya notice my login name is Rhoise....I moved to Boise Idaho from Rhode Island 18 years ago and just...
Ok last summer every so often someone would post that they got 2 eggs a day from one of their chickens. I admit I was very skeptical, thought they just didn't get out there late enough and collect the last egg, or miss counted etc until it happened to me. Then again for the second time this...
Sweet!! I want an egg scale from Santa!!
My Franken chickens as I call them(golden sex links) lay these enormous eggs every day, rarely maybe once a month take a day off. When I chose them at the hatchery I wasn't aware of the early burnout and superlayer effects, I just read "our best...
Hi Keene, our little market was selling them in 16's or 18's for the same price as a large dozen, marketed them as "special pullets first eggs" I loved them and bought them for scrambled and quiches, they are so rich and good! Or make the "Pullet Quiches" and sell them yourself for a mint!!
