How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[chiknhurder]

Five yesterday from 5 hens. Haven't collected them yet today.

2 eggs from 9 hens, 7 pullets but I got a very odd egg today, a pink egg?! So Im assuming a pullet has started laying, I had a tiny egg last week that was tan but this one is super pink!

6/8.... so far.

I never know how many I have.

I guess if I had a set flock in one building, no young ones coming up and no raccoons eating them, it would be easier to keep track.
I sometimes have as many as 9 flocks (albeit small, not over 12 in each) and eggs hatching. I have to ponder each flock, think about the number in each and add them up. I can usually do that without a headcount but people are really amazed I can't spit out the number.


When fart eggs become prevalent, it means the hen's reproductive tract needs a break. A hen will never lay all her eggs in her lifetime. If you put her on low light and give her a break, she may kick in next summer.
They're unpredictable. That's why I stay away from sexlinks and other egg hybrids.
I like pure breeds who's traits are more like traditional chickens. I have some old hens that take a long winter break. But, being very valuable rare breeds, I know that in another month or two, they'll be laying like gangbusters again.
I agree that one has to determine how long one wants to feed a non-productive bird.

She is on normal light, I don't add light to the coop

4/6 today. My Nugget laid an egg covered in blood, but doesn't seem any worse for the wear. It is a large egg though. I know it's that particular girl because she's the only one that refuses to lay in the nest box. She naturally prefers the corner of the coop furthest from the door....

I got 1! My entire flock of 7 began molting at the end of October so this is the first egg I've had in almost 3 months. I'm a happy camper cuz store bought eggs are yucky! Even Egglands brown cage free don't taste nearly as good as my girls' eggs.

1/4 but the other 3 haven't started laying yet and my layer just started 4 days. She has given us 3 green eggs in 4 days including a double Yolker the first day! I'm a proud papa.
