egg production NOT consistent!!!!

So then, with all the joy my hens give me, I get eggs as well? AWESOME!

Sounds fairly typical. Only my ISA Browns are laying, even then it's sometimes only one or two a day rather than 4, and they are both pullets and hybrids. My Wyandotte will occasionally lay one egg, but between shorter daylight hours and molting many breeds stop laying throughout winter.

Mine stopped laying. I have to buy eggs from the market. my flock gives me only 2 eggs a week!

Ok. Well that sounds good. All I can say is some time on here they say to lay off the higher protein layer in the winter. But. That is a personal choice. I have been giving 18%due to the cold temperatures. And I know they eat more. I suppose on here some will say one. Some will say other. If you can get @Eggcessive. @sourland snd there’s another lady with a peacock. It’s like catasporty. I always forget. But they are experts

I do an all-flock feed with 20% protein, helps with molting and good for both the fellas and ladies. Carbs are needed more in winter, so any food or treats just needs a good dose of that.

Lol we stacked up, have roughly 7-8 dozen in the fridge. Good thing, as deworming has also hit our egging. Ahh, how we love winter...

I have way too many church friends, for me to stock up on eggs. Oh, well!
