How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

7 today. Things are going to go downhill. Anais started moulting last week though that doesn't affect the egg count since she rarely lays anyway. But today I noticed some black feathers. Nuit is missing some from her tail. End of July is WAY TOO EARLY TO MOULT!

Might be too early but it’s possible, how old are they? I’ve never seen my chicken molt until September/October sometime some in the middle of the winter.
 
Yep it’s so possible, 2 of my broody hens that hatched chicks and raised them for 2-3 wks, weaned their babies and had eggs the day they abandoned their broods.
It must be Mabel (although confused as to why Doris hasn't started laying she doesn't mother her chiccks anymore) as yesterday the egg was proper big, she is still being mother hen. Hermione was the same she was laying probably 2 weeks before they stopped sleeping under her!
End of July is WAY TOO EARLY TO MOULT!
Sure is! Not sure if my girls will molt this year, the 3 born November I'm mainly thinking of? Guessing the chicks won't either.
Mint laid her egg just as Angel got in the box. Angel isn't in the box anymore and no egg.
Naughty girl!
4/4 again yesterday and one so far this morning!
