How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Did you ever get chicks from her? And are you keeping the breed line?
She is a hatchery bird and I don’t have any cocks so she’s not been bred. She also has never been broody, in fact she is very hostile to younger birds when I get new pullets! Fortunately for them she is clumsy and slow!
 
My 2 cracked eggs were from them dropping the eggs onto the wooden box. They had moved so much straw around that it left the floor bare. Only reason I know this is because I was there when the 2nd one was laid (dropped). I haven't had that problem after putting rubber shelf liners on the bottoms, underneath the straw.
That’s exactly (eggzactly?) what it is! I have a couple new layers and they are making a big mess in the nests before they lay. I have rubber liners, but I think the wood on the front was the culprit.
Nobody seemed to have eaten any of it though, so maybe it happened on their way out. 🤞🤞
Ten more today and the day is not over yet!
 
3 again! I was mistaken about one of my pullets laying, but my little EE is cranking out 1 little green egg a day since she started laying. All the young girls are checking out the nests so I’m hopeful that they will all start laying soon. 2 Australorps are laying after the molt of 2020. I think it needs a name like these big winter storms and hurricanes.
