What brand / name of laying mash do you use? My girls are 29 weeks and I'm still waiting on my first egg

Dunmoor crumble or pellets from Del's which is also TSC

I get 3 eggs every day, but I've noticed they dont always look the same, In the last 2 weeks I randomly get a real light tan one or a pinkish one, both smaller than the sexlinks orangie eggs. Here is my flock info, any thoughts on if or which hens could be laying them???

3 sexlinks, 26 weeks, all confirmed layers, orangie brown eggs
1 rhode island red, 21 weeks, red comb & waddles, squatted once on 11/3
1 buff orpington, 21 weeks, small colorless comb & waddles
1 australorp, 21 weeks, small red comb & waddles
1 olive egger 21 weeks, solid black comb (entire bird is solid black)
2 easter eggers, 21 weeks, Both have red combs, green legs
1 black breasted red, 21 weeks, light pink comb, green legs( is that normal?)

that is your rode island red light tan... 1 EE
that is my guess

13/18, since we are on the subject of egg cartons- I charge .45 for cartons or they give me a clean replacement.

I haven't much of a problem with people bringing me egg cartons and sometimes I get way to many egg cartons but it works out at the end .



So .45 cents nice idea thanks .

Sweet! I'm going to keep my eye on them! I was told you can use different colors of food coloring lightly dabbed on vent area to see which hens are laying eggs. Is that safe to do?

9 eggs today. Not too bad considering I still have 1 coop of 7 girls that have not laid an egg in a month.

Tuesday




Chicken eggs 3




Duck eggs well I found an entire nest of duck eggs about 12 or more as it is hard for me to bend over and look really good under the bush she picked out to hide under and them Kaki Campbell girls just blend right in and if she had not quacked I would have passed her by so that was a bad move on her part .





Goose egg 1 and the goose who is producing these eggs is in her 2nd year of producing eggs so I do believe she will be making some goslings this year

Temp still hanging around the high 70's with clear skys and light winds so working outside is nice right now .






@karenerwin I have some ladys who just out right stopped laying and went into a molt and I sure hope they get some feathers soon before it gets cold as I sure would hate to loose them to the freezing cold weather when it gets down in the 30's this year .

In the early AM we turn on the light to get the girls up. Well this morning I found a cracked egg on the floor of the coop. I could tell that one of the girls had laid it from the roost. Since I only have one laying so far, I guess there won't be anymore eggs today?

that can be very heartbreaking do you have a lip on the front of your nest boxes
it will stop that from happening
