How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

I have only had that happen when I hardly had any layers. Now they all take a day off here and there but luckily they rotate so at least somebody is laying.

I'm sure that won't hurt @Moges amha but do you know how often I've ended up with fruit damaged and rotting internally in multiple places from people shoving their finger or thumb into something, deciding it wasn't ripe and putting it back.

DO NOT DO THAT EVER! If you poke it, buy it.

Yeah nasty people. No I only do that to meat....

I THINK @Alkara was suggesting that you are an all natural organic farm product.

You got it dude!

One of my girls has been laying 11 days straight without stopping at an interval of approx. 24 hr..... strange I thought it should be every 26 hours...

I have 3 that are doing that, they have been for months! Mine are red sex links, 2 Isa Browns and a Novogen I believe. What breed are yours?

Hmm.. different from yours.. she's a Rhode Island Red crossed with Australorp. Most probably's due to individual genetic uniqueness. I noticed they started laying more consistently after I changed their feed to 18% protein instead of the regular layer feed of 14%. What are you feeding your girls?

I feed Purina Flock Raiser 20% protein. Their eggs are absolutely enormous too! Today one was 96 grams, the other two around 85 grams. I do not know how these birds can eat enough in a day to keep pounding out these monsters!

The white eggs run around 70 grams and the little Faverolles egg is around 50 grams.
