There's only 10 eggs per carton, is that how many come per carton there?

I like that. 6 cartons, instead of 5. I would get an extra $3 for 60 eggs.
Very interesting.
1 at 5am, 4 at 9am.
5/5 today. GC

Likely 10 since that is how many holes there are!

Same in Japan. I have 4 cartons from there, sent by a friend of DD1.

Curious your birds lay so early. No light in the coop at 5 AM? My girls don't get up until the sun is up and seeing as their coop is a converted horse stall in an old barn with windows only on the west side, they don't get any direct morning sun so "wake up" time isn't very early.

I have one who has been laying really early, sometimes as early as 4. Sunrise isn’t until 7, and there are no lights in my coop (well, overnight. I have a light but only if I turn it on!).

I appear to have 7/12 laying (they hatched in May). I’m averaging 5-6 eggs per day. Yesterday’s eggs plus one from the day before:

Nice colors you have there @KWVT What breeds do you have (I'm betting on a couple of EEs). And where are you in VT (generally of course!).

Thanks! Yes, two EEs. Also: Silver Laced Wyandotte (2), Gold Laced Wyandotte (2), Dominique (2), Black Australorp (2), Delaware (1), and Barred Rock (1).

Part of me wonders if I should have gotten one or two white layers and maybe a Maran for even more color.

I’m near Stowe.

DW grew up in Stowe within sight of the quad, double and gondola. Her Dad had a spotting scope in the living room so he could check the ski conditions before heading up. The farthest she's ever lived from there was the years she spent at Dartmouth.

Correct! We have cartons for 10 and 6 eggs.
Here's one for 6:

I know you guys in America can buy eggs by the dozen. Are there any other carton sizes?
