Egg Laying Efficiency over a course of a year

[infinitepizza]

Does anyone have a picture of a graph of the egg laying efficiency for a flock over the span of 1 calendar year?

I would imagine that it would be shaped somewhat like a bell curve--Highest percentages in the summer months, lowest in the winter months.

I'm trying to predict how many eggs my flock should be producing in each month, roughly.

Take the annual amount and divide by 9 (since winter is a hit or miss). That's what I do. Not super accurate but it's close enough.

I find mine lay the most in March and April, and they have started their laying year as early as January.

It will typically be steady, but lower, most of Summer, but there is usually a late summer dip before tapering off almost completely in October-November. They also seem to slow down if there are really hot bouts in the Summer.

I haven't typed up my record keeping into a graph, but I think it would be more nuanced than a bell curve.

Basically, yes.

It's not going to be that straightforward.
There are many things that can influence productivity.
