How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Rosie,Penny,Farria and muffin..good to have the pullets contribute now. How cold does it have to be before I worry about frozen eggs? 17-29 today.

as long as your able to pick them up within an hour or so of being layed you should not have to worry..
egg count was just 5 today one broke in the nest

At 29 they will last quite a while, they freeze at a lower temperature than water does. And if you have multiple hens laying in the same box each subsequent girl will warm up existing eggs a bit.

That said, if you go to work and come back 9 hours later, you could have frozen eggs.

28F.
I collect up to 5 times a day in below freezing temps.
I got my first cracked egg yesterday. 20180102_102235.jpg .
4/5 today.GC
 
1 under the roost this morning, frozen and cracked. It was laid by my 5.5 Y/O Ancona. She's the one that laid really thin shelled eggs all last year. It doesn't look to be nearly as thin as those :fl whatever was going on in her shell gland has repaired itself.
