How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

it is only a chipped every day Ikea bowl

Well there is your problem, you probably didn't assemble it properly. I hear the instructions from IKEA are notoriously poor.

that will be it!!!

3/3 today - all fairly normal - just one with light wrinkle and slightly thin shell but not as bad as the last 2.

6/7 yesterday. That seems to be the average I'm getting from these "poor laying" breeds.
On day 5 of the 32 in the incubator (day 3 with the 5 later shipped ones)

Sounds like my terible laying silkies - once the started after the move and before they (both) went broody I was getting around 5 eggs a week from each of them - awful

So to make their oyster shell more desirable I have set up a little buffet on the breezeblock where I have their waterer with the shell on one side of the water (still in the Ikea bowl - what can I do ) and their fancy grit with bits of vitamins in it on the other side (I keep forgetting to put it out - they are always free ranging - have sand filled tires too and out dirt has lots of bits of limestone in it). They seemed to find this much more palatable than the soggy serving style where it was before outside and seemed to have eaten more in the 10 minutes I was down there than in the last 2 weeks - chickens - you gotta love 'em

Lol Yep, crazy hyper layers we got lol Cornish are ranked poor, Brahmas ranked poor to moderate. Delaware is supposed to be poor to moderate. The only ones that gets moderate or better are the white rocks. Yet I get 6 eggs almost every day :/

11/17 today. Lowest I’ve had in almost 2 weeks. I guess they’re allowed to take a day off! Lol. They’ve been consistently 14-16 a day. Maybe it’s the heat? We’re mid 80’s which is the hottest it’s been this year.

FIVE! Yes 5 - well, almost. Let me explain. We have FOUR laying hens. Three just started laying end of April and one older hen. We collected our FOUR eggs and were quite happy as this was the 2nd day of having 4 eggs. As we were closing everything up for the night tonight - LittleBit lays a 2nd egg! This one had a soft shell with no pigmentation at all. LittleBit just started laying last week.

IS this anything we should worry about? We just switched from an all flock to a Layer Pellet and they have always had free choice oyster shells.

My egg count tonight was 5 LF eggs and 1 bantam egg.

I have 6 LF hens and 2 bantams. Of the 6 LF two didn't lay today and one laid 2 eggs.
