How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[All4Eggz]

For those who have been getting little to no eggs, how old and what breed are your hens?

I think about half of my layers are pullets, but the rest are older hens. I still expect a few more eggs from young layers, though

Yeah February pullets should be laying I would think. I have April pullets laying right now. They are my only consistent layers right now. My older girls drop one here and there.

3 of my April pullets are Easter Eggers which have Ameraucana mixed in them. Been laying a couple months now.

Well, I had two bantys today but only one made it safely into the house.

My girls that are consistent layers right now were all born early spring this year. They are Golden Comets, ISA Browns and Barred Rock. I have two GL Wyandottes that are laying 3+ eggs a week each, I don't know their age, got them as laying hens. One of my pullets born this June just started laying, she's a Lavender Orpington. Still waiting on the other pullet, a Speckled Sussex.

No clue. I wouldn’t want a chicken that took that long to lay.

I also had a pure ameraucana that took a while to lay. Close to 40 weeks.
