How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

It could be, I believe my girls blow the chicken chart numbers off the roof because I try to give them a variety of fairly healthy extra treats along with their layer crumbles, along with giving them free reign of about 1/4 acre so they are free to make their little rounds, stretch their wings and lay down and sunbathe next to their beloved barn. Did you add straw or hay to the nest boxes? Are the nest boxes roomy yet also private? I kind of think that fairly content chickens seem to lay like crazy. Like it's a spoiled factor. Course commercial hens also lay like crazy but some of mine are only supposed to give up 3 eggs per week. I know they are mostly doing better than that. Maybe only my Brahma tries not to exert herself too much.

I can't wait until my chicklets start laying in a few months, too!

Mine went on temporary slow down on their jobs. Now both my Serama's are broody.

Need to break one of them. She's been broody for 3 months it seems like and I needed one more egg to fill an order!

I typically get 3-4 from 4. Today, though, I only got one - the slackers!!!

Go buy golf balls or wooden eggs. Once they hurt their peckers trying to break into those, they are supposed to quit the habit.
