6 eggs today, and I have established that Muffy has laid a lovely baby blue egg - I am assuming that the two other wee eggs are hers but since I wasn’t there to witness I can only attest to the one she laid today - so that is the first

1 today. 2 yesterday. I thought my EE was done for awhile, but she took 2 days off and laid yesterday, but not today. Very grateful for those 3 plus the 1 previously in the fridge. I have been making a 1/2 squash and 1 egg for breakfast the past few days. Nice to not have to purchase a meal…a few squash left from the garden. We will see how much longer those two layers hold on.

It’s my second winter with these girls, got them in June last year. How long do most breeds stop for? I have 6 currently on break, Welsummer, Marans, Orpington, Olive Egger, Sussex & Faverolles. The EE and another Marans are the two I still get a few eggs a week from.

It varies is the safe answer.

Laying after a break starts to pick up here about 2 weeks after winter solstice. That means a long slow gradual crawl out of the egg absence increasing an egg or 2 a week per bird from the best layers until hitting the beginning of March when they are back to full production finally.
The slackers (low production birds) take forever to get back to their full production in mid to late April.

I have 7 bantam girls, some who just started laying in August and September. One still doesn't have her big girl comb yet.

Congratulations! Always eggciting when they start laying, isn’t it?!
