How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

2 today, both by 8 AM. One from Daisy, still not sure of the other. Aurora was scratching around in one of the open boxes while I was down there but no egg later on. I REALLY want to know what she lays since Austra Whites should lay white or light brown and I have seen none of those.

Only 1 egg today. A lighter tan coloured one from Blue I’m betting by colour and size, she’s my most consistent layer to date.
I think that because I re/moved the polycarbonate sheets and put a lot and different hay in the nest boxes they weren’t as keen on them. It might be enough to kick the broodies I had trying to set on me though Echo had been preferring the favourite nest box these past few days, really trying to commit herself, but the two of them were on the roost huddled with everyone tonight thankfully!

3 - a new high for the season

Stupid stupid chickens!!!!! Yesterday I saw Aurora (Austra White) scratching around in the center open nest box, no egg later in the day though. Big comb (and mouth), squatting, ready to lay. Sophia (Columbian Wyandotte) laid in the closed box this morning.

Mid afternoon there was a lot of racket so I checked the nest boxes again, nothing. Aurora had come from the north end of the alley so I checked the hay room since Little Lana had laid a ton of eggs there last summer before she disappeared that one morning. Nope, no eggs.

3 PM I gave the girls their scratch and the boys their pellets. Before doing the boys I decided to go through the gate and give them a bit more hay in the half full wall feeders even though the snow totally melted between yesterday and today. I grabbed some hay and dropped some in the left feeder then the right. As it dropped in the right side one my eye BARELY caught a flash of white. I pulled the hay back out and found not only the first (that I KNOW of) whitish egg from Aurora but also an egg from Daisy (White Rock). WTH????? Daisy has been laying in the closed box for a month!

I put some hay in the middle open box in case Aurora just thinks hay is a better place to lay than pine shavings. Hopefully she will get the hint. I REALLY don't want to play egg hunt several times a day all winter, not in the summer either!

12 eggs today!
@bruceha2000 I know what you mean about egg hunts! I still have not figured out where my turkey hen laid her eggs!! I did not find ANY all year! I even tried following her because she gets over the fence daily and wanders around the property, carport and woods. However, I still was unable to figure out where she was laying any eggs. Hopefully next Spring and Summer I can find them!
