How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

2/5 - big day for me since mine have just this past week come of age.

Second egg from my little red bantam, Lucille - both of them laid at approximately 3:30; is this going to be her regular schedule? She sure is a drama queen too. Starts with the egg song around 8:30 and multiple loud singing trips in and out of the coop. The Australorp, Mattie who laid the other one today was even worse. I was afraid the neighbors were going to complain. LOL - no one would 'cause the ones that matter know that when production kicks in on a regular basis, they will benefit with fresh eggs. I'm so tickled that my little girls have started to lay

1 egg from 8 darn hens! BUT... that's better than it has been. We've been 0/8 for a long time. My own fault for not setting up a light but...
 
Looks like mine have dialed in on 12 ,I'm going to leave the light off because during the summer months they lay everyday and they deserve a break

I have 2 EE's: Mildred and Loudred are sisters from the same hatch.

Mildred laid at 24.5 weeks, and Loudred laid at over 31 weeks!

She was huge, too, and I was beginning to think SHE was a HE. Her eggs are huge, and were never pullet sized to start.

For today: 9 out of13 hens. Seems to be the going rate
