How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

2 eggs from 3 hens

We had the "chicken soup talk" yesterday, it must have motivated them a little

I explained to the girls that I was never going to get the incubator full if they didn't get a move on

Could it be a duck egg? I had someone give me Cayuga eggs that were about that color.

Thirteen eggs from 21 "big girls." We have 3 roos and 3 "little girls" (young Silkies). We get between 11 and 17 eggs every day. Yes, I do have a light in the coop.

Hello,
the subject of eggs in winter raises some questions for me. last year I got eggs through the winter...we have some serious cold around here...temps to -20F for weeks at a time. This year, I got no eggs for most of the winter. Then I read an article in the BACKWOODS HOME magazine from a gal who suggested giving the girls some prepared soybeans. She described the preparation as either dry roasting them or soaking them over night and boiling them to inactivate the trypsin enzyme in the soybean that damages a chickens stomach. By golly, I started getting eggs the second day and now production has returned to 3 a day from 3 hens (Barred Plymouth Rocks).
Can anyone comment on the effect of the protein versus the increasing amount of daylight as the season begins to change (despite the blizzard we had out here yesterday)
Does the longer day have any effect or is it both longer day, more protein or a combination of the two?

I got 3 eggs today from 3 RIR hens. I think one reason they have layed all winter is I give them some hot mash (feed with milk) every morning. Of course, this might not be practical for those with a lot of hens, but it seems to work for me.

I also feed them greens, scratch, all the usual treats along with their feed store pellets.
