How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[Sequel]

2 for me today. I’ve been getting 2 a day and one weighed 74 grams! The rest have been 61 to 68 grams, most 66 or 67. Big eggs for such young pullets. I hope I don’t have egg binding problems later!

I was under the impression that it was 1 box for every 4-5 hens

oh do you mean that all the boxes ought to be in use since I have them?
I've moved them to a different coop that needs them

You definitely need more than one box. If one is occupied and another girl needs to lay an egg you want space for her to do so. I have 5 currently laying and 5 boxes(though one is currently occupied by a broody)
