How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

it was -6 this morning and thats not the windchill!
 
10/12 but will be getting one from now on. My lab caught one of my reds today. That makes chicken number 4 since I started raising chickens last Easter.
 
I'm just "going with the flow" on this one. We have only had chickens since this past spring and I figure that if they want to share a space, so be it. It is a little hard to reach under to get the eggs though so I bought a child's hoe and keep it in the coop. It makes it very easy to scoop out the eggs. ~ : ) I went so far as to make little curtains for the nesting boxes - Geeze!!! Just grateful they are laying so well. We bought a dozen "girls" because people said we would lose a few as they matured. Nope - not us. We have twelve very healthy, happy, friendly girls milling around "talking" and laying. Life is good (better with eggs).
 
I had a beautiful well summer rooster only a yr and a half when he passed away in October. He quit crowing for a few months. I didn't know it was a sign of illness. Anyone know what could of happened ? Thanks Nancy
