How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[chrissynemetz]

How much land do you have if you don't mind me asking? Do you free range?

I have roughly an acre, and the chickens own it all

I have 65 hens (most are molting) 32 pullets, 3 roosters, and 8 cockerels.

I have more than twice as many birds (around 300, about half are pullets that are just starting to lay) and not getting nearly as many eggs as you are. What is your secret???

I keep threatening them with the stock pot.

Second time I can report this, happy to say the Mrs found her first one today. I found mine yesterday.

Thanks. Sent a picture to my parents who had chickens when they were children and my Mom asked if we had any Banty. Guessing because of how small the eggs are right now, had to remind her they'll get bigger as they lay/mature more.

Haha, hopefully I'll be able to find my first egg sometime soon

These are from three RIR, three Partridge rocks, and one sweet Speckled Sussex. A couple I picked up while they were still warm. Does it get any more precious than that?

I've been threatening mine too but they aren't paying any attention.
