So my 8 hens appeared to be tapering off on egg production with shorter cooler days.... Went from 6-7 per day to 2-3..... Cut surprise.... I found a new nesting spot outside of my coop/run. The free range most of the day... Anyway, 18 eggs were in this spot when I found it.
Have hens only; eggs are no fertile... Temps have been freezing at night 50's most days. In a darker shaded area. I think they will be fine. Any other opinions? Probably the oldest were 4-5 days old when I collected them.
Also, I keep my eggs unwashed and on the counter. Normally 12 - 18 in a basket ant any given time and I use first in first out... somewhat... How long do you feel comfortable having them un fridged... If I gat a nasty, I wash and fridge and use quickly.
