how do you guys keep track of who’s laying and when?

I don't. Flock in signature below. Most of my birds, unlike the Procul Harem song, lay "a browner shade of pale."

These do not lend themselves to ready identification.

I've stopped counting. I know I'll get at least a half flat each day, and if I ever let most of my flock age into adulthood, I'll be lucky if I *only* get a flat a day.

24 eggs in a day remains my record, and I've culled numerous layers since then, but have also doubled my flock size - just waiting for the new birds to start laying.

I have a few different colored layers so that's easy, the ones that lay brown eggs I know who laid what because of the shape

wow! thanks for all the detailed and varied responses everyone! i can definitely tell a few apart but my JGs all lay large pink eggs and are pretty quiet about so i don’t think theres much hope there lol. i also love the app idea, i’ll definitely be using that from now
