Does any one get an egg every day from their clb i have one hen who has laid every day and one who i havent seen lay at all they are the same age any thoghts?

How old are they? Is it possible the one isn't laying yet or it molting? I get an average of 5 eggs/week/hen for most of the year. That's almost an egg per day.

My Lucy only missed a day if it was thunderstorming the day before, and even then she laid most of those days as well. Are the eggs the same (shape, color)?

It would...ok let's add parents to the chicks pics

LOL we were once trying to do that with a database -- but because we called it a pedigree database people shied away. Definitely, now when I think of getting chicks or even hatching eggs, I would certainly like to see the parents. BUT -- it also looks like parents and off-spring have a lot of not parallels. --- We are making progress, but are still early days.

Here's my example -- the parents of Steen's great rooster, are not as "correct" as he is. We are making an assumption that the correctness is going to increase...but have yet to have proof of that yet...right?

I figured it would be great to study the links between the parents and offspring, as well as show how down effects adult color. Plus it might bring hope to some people who are really discouraged with their first birds. But I hear you.

I want one like Lucy!! Mine used to perform like that -- but we have 100-plus now--- so I will be happy if they just survive it.

i have a Lucy CL also, but she goes on strike when other birds are broody -- she's not broody herself, but i haven't had a blue egg for several weeks now... and she did the same thing earlier in the spring during my first round of broodies.

It must be sympathy "pains"

That is really interesting though, because people often seem to have broodies come in batches - one goes, they all go. Makes sense doesn't it, because being broody is due to hormone changes in a hen, and that interferes with the normal hormone cycle when they ARE laying eggs.

Grey actually sat in the nest box for a whole day after I removed Lucy and her eggs from the pen...he gave the girls a death stare like he was thinking, "Don't you dare think about sitting on those eggs. I'm not losing you too!". I shooed him off and he hasn't been back in, but it was really funny.

Sometimes, rooster behavior seems so comical!
