Cautiously optimistic

I went and posted a month ago or so that the strike was over and I was dead wrong. Yesterday we never checked for eggs, and today there were 5. FIVE!!! 6 layers. Since the end of October we have not had more than 2 in one day and if we got 2 there were none the next day.

Keep that multitude of fingers on all of your hands crossed. We'll hope for more eggs.

We had 8 yesterday... 4 today. Lazy buggers.

I have 6 layers and the 2 EE's are clearly on strike. So 5 eggs in two days is AWESOME. I also have 6 pullets that are 20 weeks on Saturday, 4 BO's and 2 RIR's - could be any minute....

Have had three eggs in the last four days from my 21-week-olds (their first) - a nice green one from my EEer too. The rest are still too young, but life is looking up here! I'm keeping all my digits crossed for everyone!

Lucky, I got none here.

My birds are finally getting the idea to lay again too. It's very exciting! Soon I may not have to buy eggs to eat

YAY Debi! I'll keep my fingers crossed with all of yours that they keep it up.

We got our first dozen-egg-day this week, and it was so exciting! We've had 5 dozen and 11 eggs so far this year.

We've got 27 at or nearing laying age.

My fingers are crossed.

Wow. I feel lucky. We're getting between 12 and 16 eggs every day and hopefully more soon.

I'm lucky too I guess. My 14 hens are putting out 12-14 eggs each day.
Maybe their 50-60 degree coup helps.
