How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[minnehaha]

I've already lost 2 girls to a predator.... I was just wanting an idea sense we finally have eggs to give/sale away....

I'll boil a few and feed to the birds but I'll keep my girls... Don't laugh but I want a few more... All my birds are black aurstolops.... I would like a few other kinds but my hubby says no... Turd head...

.

Thanks for the info though.

AAAWWWW....I was just kidding around love. I know your situation is completely different than mine...I was poking fun at myself.

but yea...4-6 weeks is what they are suppose to be good for.

6 brown (4 Red Star, one Black orp, 1 SS)
5 blue (one was from one of my Easter Bar pullets, I eye witnessed it)
2 white (one of my leghorns laid a hilarious small pullet sized egg today, adorable)

Since selling half my flock, I can finally know who is laying which egg, except the blue eggs, many days I really just do not know who laid what...

Hi I'm new to this forum. I had a question about my chickens laying eggs. First of all I have 3 older chickens and 3 young chickens and 3 older roosters and 1 young rooster. For some reason the older chickens do not let the roosters breed them but only 2 chickens do. I feed them just protein not egg maker because I heard that feeding that to rooster can get them to fight with all the hormones. I tried it once and egg production went a little up. My question is if I buy egg maker scratch can those eggs be hatched?

Welcome to BYC!

By "egg maker" do you mean layer feed? As far as I know it's illegal to add hormones to chicken feed, so I don't know what you mean by your reference to roosters fighting from the hormones in "egg maker".
What is "egg maker scratch"?

The terms most of us are familiar with regarding feed are chick starter, (or starter/grower) meat bird grower, all flock, or layer feed.
Scratch is to be used as a treat, not regular feed (same with corn). It does not have the proper nutrients for healthy chickens if used more than occasionally.
Most likely, any fertilized egg can be hatched. I don't think the type of feed used is the deciding factor.

BTW, you have way too many roosters for that number of hens. Generally any more than one rooster for at least 8-10 hens is too many. I had one for 16 and as far as I could tell, all the eggs were fertile. I may keep a second rooster when I expand to around 30 hens, but they'd have to get a long well.

yes your egg should hatch as long as you have roosters doing there job. if you want good egg production you want to feed a good egg layer feed . i have 2 roosters that have been together with 9 hens since they were chicks. they are now 8 months old and just started fighting the other day so i had to seperate they now have there own coop and own hens. the weather is getting warmer and the hormones are kicking in they decided they didnt want to share the ladys together i guess. hope i answered your questions.

3/4...I prefer 4/4. The hens seem to disagree. Stupid birds!
