How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Seems like everyone's egg production is picking up now that Spring has sprung. I've been really lucky, I know, because my Gals have been laying all winter. But I'm glad to see most people seem to be reporting better results in the past few weeks. We got a full load yesterday with 19 from our 19 Gold Comets! Hopefully when we add the 11 new pullets that they'll keep going strong. Last year when we added our second 6 pullets to the first there was a lot of angst that broke out in the coop. The 'older' Gals picked on the 'younsters' unmercifully for several weeks and egg production went in the crapper. But when we added the third batch of 7 pullets we didn't experience that. There was still some pecking order setting but the 'youngsters' pretty much moved aside and gave room to their elders. I also noticed that the first six quit picking on the second six as well. One thing did happen and that was the Omega hen of the second six who was picked on the worst became the slave master over the newest ones and made their lives hell for several weeks. I guess like they say, '@#$% slides downhill!' and 'What goes around, comes around!'.
 
3/3 today

No soft or cracked ones either. Hopefully, they've got it sorted
