Egg Question

[CaliSarah]

Hello All!
I am so excited that my chicken(s) are finally laying!! My question is, I'm getting, on average, 1 maaaybe 2 eggs per day. Does this sound like an average for 4 hens? Wow, sorry this sounds like a silly math question. I have a Black Star, Rhode Island, Siscillin Buttercup and a Welsummer. They are all 21 &1/2 weeks old, except the Black Star is one week older.

Its normal when they first start to lay especially when its hot out. They should lay more eggs once they get a little older.

Are you feeding laying mash? If so, your average will probably go up as the hens get a bit older.
