A little over a year old and still no eggs

How do you know only 6-8 of 13 are laying? If you are going by the # of eggs per day, they may all be laying, because most chickens don't lay an egg a day.

x2. I've never gotten eggs to match the number of chickens. Really only way you know if each bird is laying is if you can definitively match each egg to a bird, which can be pretty difficult. I deliberately have a mix of breeds (plus I'm generally pretty aware of each bird's laying schedule) so I can ID each egg I get.
