How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

This is my first egg. I didn't know what to do. Do I leave it in hopes of more eggs in the same best box or Do I take it out and cook it. Well I left it and today she gave me one more egg in the same place. I marked the old first egg and took out the new one.

So, now I have 8 layers, 3 pullets & 1 cockerel in the EE coop. 11 ( if the 3 pullets really are laying) layers & 1 rooster in the barn. 4 layers & 1 rooster in the new coop and 1 hen & a rooster in quarantine in the house (they have lice).

Thanks. After I get my birds all together (intro period so separated) my eggs should hatch and I'll use the smaller pin (revamped for babies) to grow my group. I've got several happy people who get free eggs because they are elderly and closer than family and they are passing word around. We will start selling to new people at $2 for dozen $3 for 18 count if they bring their own cartons. Add$.50 if I provide carton. That way the girls start paying for themselves. The boys will be raised up and sold or culled and given away as gifts or sold for dinners. I'll get 2 unrelated Roos every spring to mix my bloodline and hatch more to cover losses or culls each spring.

All in all I'm looking at around 30-40 hens and 10-15 Roos for meat. I've got people wanting to buy the extra babies for a starter flock of their own.
