How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[karenerwin]

I'm going to a Sewing, quilting, embroidery extravaganza this weekend!! It started this morning, but I didn't want to take off work, so I'm going Saturday and Sunday. I'm hoping it doesn't get snowed out on Sunday, but I guess it won't because it is being held at a hotel... So many people are probably staying there. My friend and I are driving home each evening because it's only about 30 minutes away from my house.

No snow at all, it was a complete dud, got blown by the wind.

@PouleChick I've tried the cone and the "hanging noose". I prefer the hanging noose. I made a hangman's knot in one end and slip it over their feet. Then I hang the other end from a screw in a tree ( if I did it again, I'd put a hook in the tree instead of a screw). I've found that some of my birds are too big to fit in the cone. Plus, the ones that do fit, tend to pull their head up inside the cone and it's harder to pull their head back out and maneuver the knife. (Just my opinion). I suggest trying it both ways and seeing which way you find easier.

Interesting - I did wonder about the size thing as my Orp roo is absolutely massive! So do you mean the same sort of way Justin did it with the rope? That would be so stressful if they were pulling thier heads up

I got 8 yesterday (from a potential 14 - or 12 if you don't count the silkies how only seem to lay to prepare themselves for going broody for a couple of weeks!) - record so I think some of the young girls are starting up.

That is so good - mine are all 8-9 months and still not all laying! I'm not quite sure who is and isn't though. I'll report back later in the day when I have checked.
