How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[sparrker]

I do think the artifiical light, to bring it to 14 hrs, is working. Beginning of december I was down to 18 added the light and I've already gotten 34 eggs today. I have to limit my egg customers to two dozen so it is fair to everyone. I don't use a red heat lamp just a 40w light bulb. It gets cold and snowy here too, but its been warm the last couple days.

Almost all of the eggs I have been getting are brown, my Americanas (spelling?) (6 of them) are pretty much taking a break. I may get 1 blue or green egg a week, if that often!

5 out of 10 + Scout yesterday. But big news! Went out last night to make sure the coop and run were locked up and Scout was on the roost with the others, sitting right between Mom Agatha and one of the Marans! Roosting! She got up there by herself and she was out in the run this morning with the others so she obviously got down by herself! Her toes are still curled - I'm not working on trying to straighten them any more because she's just getting too old for it to be really effective anyway. But apparently it's not slowing her down any! Yayyy, Scout!

My Ameraucana quit too! LOL She was laying about 5 eggs per week, and then in October she just quit. She actually stopped laying on the same day I put 8 of her eggs in the incubator. They all hatched and the babies are adorable. She is only 9 months old and not molting, so I think it is just a daylight thing. Since I was trying to get my older hens to slow down on the laying, I am not leaving the lights on in the coop. They are getting 10 - 11 hours of light per day. There are still about 8 of the brown egg layers that have been laying all winter. One of the legbars just started laying again last week, and one Marans laid for a week and then stopped again. That is fine though since I think everyone should take a break!

Yesterday I got 8 eggs, the day before only 3.

Three eggs so far today. What do average size eggs weigh? I have the unknown hen with the tiny eggs .....they are averaging 40 grams. Sassafras the RSL has only been laying for about three weeks and earlier this week she laid an 83 gram egg and this morning a 90 gram egg.....these look awfully big to me and both times they have had a bit of blood on them. I wish she would lay smaller eggs that are not so painful looking. Do RSLs usually lay that large an egg? Oh maybe I should ask over on that thread.
