How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[Marle94]

Sis said she got one. I found a busted soft shelled one when I closed up the coop.

For the first time this fall I got a zero.
There are 27 chickens (lost another old one during summer) and they give me ZERO eggs. The rooster is excused from laying as is the ancient bantam.....still Zero is not the number I need.

Pullets and hens can stop laying due to lessening daylight hours. This is likely what’s going on with yours, the 18 wk old pullets may even hold off until spring to start laying.

Delaying and stopping laying is good for their bodies, gives their egg factory a break, and they can replenish nutrients and calcium. Don’t look at this as a negative but as a positive, it will allow them to keep laying better eggs longer. They will be healthier for it.

I was telling my son about how my hens aren't laying, instead they're molting. Then I added that I didn't mind zero eggs right now, the hens needed down time.


Ouch, totally unintentional pun!

1 today, from Juin

It was a large egg too! She normally lays a medium, but taking a day off seems to make the following egg larger, at least in her case.
