How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

That's pretty good this time of year without a lighting program and prime pullets.

I must had beginners luck last year getting 9-10 daily out of 10.

Most everyone has beginners luck with pullets laying into their first autumn/winter.
They molt their second autumn and each thereafter. That creates a egg hiatus that can last months.
First timers are unpleasantly surprised going into the second autumn.

My best advice for those people is to start stockpiling eggs in late summer.

The weird thing is I got new 11 layers this year raised the same way w my first batch of hens. I only get 6-7 eggs from them.

6/14 so far. Got the coop semi insulated today so they are all set for winter once I get the shavings changed.

4 so far, by the time I left the coop/run area Brownie was in the box working on trying to lay her egg. She wasn't thrilled that I went into the coop to put the waterer back in there. She'll get over it though.

5/8 today. One could have been from yesterday though because I collected eggs in the dark last night.

Just found this thread! I was getting 20-24 per day from 28 chickens before the sun started setting around 7:45 every day. Since then, they have decreased greatly! I've had as little as 4 one day and 12 another. I did change their food and have been monitoring their protein intake (went from pre mixed food to mixing my own) and adding in sprouted grains to see if there was an increase. Haven't noticed a difference yet and last night was 9/28 eggs.
