How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

I got 20 eggs today!! That means only 6 hens did not lay an egg today!!
I sold 3.5 dozen eggs today and have at least 3 dozen still on my counter.
Also, I checked my incubator and it looks like I have 4 or 5 ( I don't remember which) very viable eggs! Not real great out of a dozen eggs but I didn't really think the big coop was going to have a good fertility rate because there is 1 rooster covering 18 ( used to be 20) hens.
I think that is too many to guarantee good fertility. The small coop one the other hand has 2 roosters for 8 hens. I am hoping that the EE rooster has passed on his genetics to the eggs in the incubator. Then he will be headed to freezer camp as well as 2 other extra roosters.
Once these eggs hatch, by the end of the week, I plan to put more eggs in!
Our local farm store is completely out of chicks.
 
For those interested, here's my records for my two Buff Orphington's to last month.
Wow, those two girls are WAY over producing! I've very occasionally gotten 2 eggs from a single hen but nothing like that!

They are in the same state as me ( I think).
Yep.

12 yesterday
12 today unless someone decides to lay since I went out at 3 PM.
