How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[newchickenmom33]

Yep. I think mine started to lay about 9 days ago or so and started at 1.3 oz and now are 1.6 plus or minus a bit but they are awesome!!!

I got 9 eggs yesterday and a new chick hatched in the incubator. I was going to slip it under the one broody that hasn't hatched any chicks, but in the afternoon she was off her nest. In the evening I moved her and the nest to the broody box. She seemed fine with it, but when I went out an hour later to slip the chick under her she was back off the nest. Apparently she was NOT happy with me for moving her and her nest!
So I slipped the chick under the Momma that had 4 chicks of various ages. This morning, all seems to be good, except with the hen whose nest I moved.

Woke up this morning with 24 chicks just hatched in the incubator, two more eggs to go. I’m thinking placing some of them under 2 broody hens tonight.

They start small but the eggs will get bigger.

Yes, luckily I had read that here some time ago, so I was prepared for the puny things.

Hello!
I have 6 chickens, they all were hatched in Feb and have started laying one by one in the past couple weeks.
5 eggs today, so one from everyone, minus the EE who hasn't started laying yet!

Much better than two yesterday! Although it is much cooler today too

Prepare yourself for the occasional puny egg even after they have been laying for some time. 3 days ago I got a 30g egg from Mellori. She is a 2015 bird and typically lays in the high 60s, low 70's.
