so my 3 pullets are almost 11 months old. They have been averaging 2-3 eggs a day for many months now. The past two days I only got 2 eggs not really sure which one of the 2 was not giving me an egg though, (1 always gives me the “calcium” egg so I knew it wasn’t her.). And today, no one gave me an egg. Am I spoiled? No mites, they eat good, they drink good, they are dust bathing good. What gives?

Id think you're spoiled are you providing an supplement for calcium? What do they eat? Breed? Sometimes they can just get "off" or be a late layer. They could also be eating soft shell ones without you noticing. I wouldnt worry too much about it but I know when I first started I was worried about EVERYTHING

What all and how exactly are you feeding?
Do you free range?
What breeds are they?
Is it getting hot where you are?

Unless there is a medical issue, hens will lay when they lay. Between my 3 hens I can get around 3-5 eggs per week per hen. If they take a day or two off its okay. Luckily for me I can tell everyones eggs apart so I know who is "slacking" off. It happens...

yea I think I'm spoiled. And so are they. They have oyster shell and regular egg shell on the side. They are fed some pretty good $$ food that I actually bought affordable TS food last night and they were like, "what the cluck??" They are EE and it was actually pretty cool temps these past 2 days. But this morning there was 2 eggs!!! YAY! Now if I get the 3rd egg later on today I'll be good.

It is probably just that their egg laying cycles are over for a few days.
