This sure is the right place to be!

Personally, I don’t love ISA Browns, Rhode Island Reds, or Cinnamon Queens, for that reason (they don’t seem to be as healthy because they are bred solely for egg production). I’m glad that yours were friendly, because mine of that breed weren’t. I also didn’t get them until they were pullets, so that probably attributed to their nature as well.

I’m sorry that your living conditions are just difficult and wet for you!

I do agree that heritage breeds seem to be a little hardier. But then again, we’re all learning here (and that means me).

You might be right, your were pullets so it was kind of harder to connect. The production breed is just for laying egg to dead so the reproductive issues. I am quite new to raising chickens and I finding chickens to be a wonderful creature.

On New Year day, I got 1 egg...that is to be expected of my Isa Brown girl, lay to she drops on the ground.

The rest of the flock took a day off on new year day. That is also expected. It is a public holiday so they say.

Yesterday, I got 6 eggs, they are all back at work

Eleven again. Six brown, five blue. Brown one on the left is almost pink and pretty large; blue one on that end is also large. Blue one on the right looks like a pullet egg. So fun!

ETA, Sorty, forgot to add pic.

Today was another 8. Unfortunately once again a light brown was broken getting egg on a pretty dark brown one.
Pretty sure it's one of the buff Brahmas eggs getting broken. The shell was a bit thinner than it should be.

What a wonderful flock! They must lay a lovely pastel rainbow of eggs for you.

You have so many long-lived birds! I hope my girls can make it to Hawk’s age. What a champ for laying so many eggs at 10 years old!

Thank you! I do have a rooster as well, but of course he doesn't lay eggs. I get a variety of colors, but I would like more! I need myself some chocolate and olive eggs.

With tender and loving care I'm sure yours can make it up there. I am surprised Hawk has laid so many! I'm tempted to buy an incubator and see if her eggs would hatch, but I doubt it because of her age.

Nice! Is this an app?

Yes, it is. Its called Flockstar. It used to be free, with some things to pay for. But now you have to pay for it, although you get all the perks that you had to pay for when it was free. I do love this app and highly recommend it! You can track hatches, track finances, track egg laying, and there is a spot for journaling as well. You can also have different flocks. Like I have chicken and duck flocks on there.

Got 2 today. Haven't checked back out there because today has been busy. Birthday breakfast with my husband and then had some stuff to do in town and then my son, daughter in law and I went to dinner for my birthday. I'm still trying to get over the cold that I got on Christmas morning so I'm really tired.
