How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Six eggs I think you are down on your count is the weather affecting the lady's at all as the winds and high heat really make a difference with my gal's
Our weather can't make up it's mind! One day it'll be in the 40's and the next day it's 82 degrees out! We have had a little bit of rain, but not a lot. Yesterday was 74 & today was in the low 80's.
The biggest problem here right now is still Molting. The EE coop hasn't laid an egg in over a week! They also don't get artificial light in that coop, so that probably comes in to play as well. The black & white coop (Black Penedesencas & white leghorns) has finally started to pick up slightly. Today & a couple of days ago I got 3 eggs(instead of just 2 from the leghorns) from the 4 hens in there. There are 6 pullets in there as well that are 18 weeks old, but so far I haven't seen any "pullet - looking eggs".
So the "big" barn is where I've been getting most of my eggs. I just lost a hen from there on Monday, she was very egg bound & I went a head & put her down. She probably wouldn't have lasted much longer, she was full of liquid. I've been getting 5 eggs, sometimes 6 eggs from the 9 ladies left in there. There are 4 pullets in there but they are only about 14 weeks old.

Yesterday I got 9 eggs.
Today I got 7 eggs.
