How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[drstratton]

Good morning all...I'm away from my chickens for a couple of days, so I'm hoping for some egg pictures here to get my fix...

All of my laying hens bar 7 are currently at my mothers as I am re-doing most of my adult bird pens. I do still have my chicks and pullets, ducks and ducklings here as well.
Today I got a Total of 5 chicken eggs and 2 duck eggs.
It felt very strange walking in with 5 chicken eggs for the whole day, especially since my ladies recently started laying again (spring here) and I was up to 2+ dozen a day.

I didn't take a photo of the duck eggs but I did get a photo of the chicken eggs

@drstratton Thank you. I told the kids to pick 5 and they tried to make sure they had one of each coloured egg, which is how it went to 7 lol

I've been getting upwards of 30 eggs daily from our 39... (1st laying season for 30)

Today I was graced with a shell-less egg that had a rubbery stem (didn't get a Pic because they ate it.. the egg, not the Pic ) and another egg that has a paper thin shell, and looks like a water balloon
Poor girls.. they're sure trying though

5 out of 10, no thin shells for 3 days in a row! I might crawl under the coop later to be sure the sussex aren't laying under there.

2 today! Either my Easter egger didn’t lay one today or she’s decided she’s too good for nest boxes and hid it.

5 today, they are slowing down.

im not too sure on the breed they were labeled egg layers at tractor supply but when i free feed them they gained 2 lbs within a week!

Those look like cornish cross to me and they aren't egg layers...but I'm far from an expert!

I agree with @drstratton, no egg laying breed will gain that kind of weight in that time. And they look like CX to me as well. I suspect the people at TSC don't know their chicken breeds and at a day or 2 old one yellow chick looks like another.
