How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

26 yesterday, now off to a wedding. Should I bring dozens of eggs as a gift LOL

I have not gotten a single egg for 3 weeks does anybody have any suggestions.

First thing I might suspect is a furry four-legged egg thief. Especially if your chickens are healthy and showing no signs of mites etc., or that they are eating the eggs. Maybe you can rig up a trail cam to see what is happening around the nest boxes? I would find it strange they would all go off line at once.

My wife took eggs, a kitchen item and recipes to our future niece-in-law's wedding shower last week. Why not?
I would rather have eggs than a few of the wedding gifts we got!

Nice! I’ll take 6 dozens, if not I can give it away to some relatives that might like expensive colorful (lol) eggs.

Exactly what she did, a dozen to the niece-in-law and 3 dozen scattered to the rest of the family. They loved it and we moved some inventory! It will be a unique gift!

Only 3 today - it was my biggest girl (a whole 2 weeks older - a sussex) who didn't today - it has been ages since the silkie had a day off - I must be doing something right - the bloke I bought them off said a couple of eggs a week

I bought 5 silkies that were supposed to be laying about 2 weeks ago. There were 2 eggs laid in the first 2 days and none since. They have a big coop to themselves plenty of room etc. IDK what their problem is. My Easter Eggers and Black orphingtons are laying great.

Silky are great at not laying they are a ornamental breed goes broody often

Except for @PouleChick's silkies that didn't read the breed description in the catalog. Maybe silkies in France are different than those in the USA.

Two eggs today but one was smaller than normal, fairly light in color and laid not in the nests but broken :/ so that may be Cornish. Crazy chickens scattered their nest material all over their little house.
