I don't think it got that hot here today but I haven't been getting many eggs at all, maybe 2 a day and for some reason my reliable duck hens are not laying at all.

I hope it's ok if I join in. I'm always keeping track of my eggs. I have 14 chickens. 6 Rhode Island Reds, 4 Black Sexlinks, 2 Barred Plymoth Rocks, and 2 Sicilian Buttercups (but one turned out to be "Roosty" as my son has named him). The most I've gotten in one days was 3 out of them so far. My RIRs are 20 weeks, BSLs are 19 weeks, SBs are 17 weeks and BPR are 16 weeks. The last couple days I've had a deep brown egg that I can't figure out who is laying. The other's are light brown. Lots of the girls are getting close so I can't wait for them to really start!

Only 5 so far out of 10 hens. One of my pullets flew the coop yesterday & despite trying 3 different times for about 20 minutes each time, I was unable to catch her last night. This morning I didn't see her and when I got home from work & looked for her again, all I found was a big pile of black feathers.  I am thinking that an overhead predator must have gotten her. Not sure why she didn't run under the low deck like she kept doing to me last night! I guess whatever it was must have taken her by surprise! Hopefully, it was quick. I'm not sure if she had ever laid an egg or not as she was in the pen of Ameraucanas that were due to start laying this year.  All I know is that at least 2 out of the 5 had started laying, 1 laid its' first egg yesterday.
OK, I got 1 more egg this evening. So that makes it 6 out of 10.

sounds feline. Sorry for your loss.

that's so fun. I wish I had paid better attention to what color eggs each breed laid before getting 5 that would all lay brown eggs. Luckily one of our chickens ended up being a different breed than the feed store told us she was. She's an EE so we have a chance of a different colored egg. Hubby thinks we should have got one that laid white eggs though.... chicken math?? I wouldn't mind a few more.

I'm still waiting on mine to start laying and think I still have a while to wait. Can't wait to find the first egg!
