13 today. Wonder if the kids know how to count every time they close them up and collect eggs, there’s less than normal.

None yet today but Gretel got out of broody jail yesterday, she finally "spoke" to me in a nice non broody tone after 3 days in the slammer.

9 today. I peeked in the coop this morning and caught 3 hens trying to use the same nest at the same time. Clearly the one on the floor is the favorite, so I moved another next to it and they were happy.

I thought I had 11 yesterday, but then I found 3 more I brought in the house and forgot to count. 14.

Five eggs out of five laying hens!! For the first time ever haha, usually it was three a day but I’m so happy now! Only issue is that I have a colored egg layer, EE, light brown leghorn, and two buff Orpingtons, but I got 2 blue eggs (one very light one a greenish blue), one green egg, and two browns. I thought light brown leghorns laid white?? She has white earlobes but I forget which color of egg that would be... The buffs have to be laying the browns, I know the colored egg layer lays the green, and the EE lays blue. So why is my leghorn also laying blue?

2 of 4 BUT, the door opened up on the pen today and they were free ranging all day from daylight to sundown pretty much. I have NO idea if anyone hid any in the yard anywhere. Honestly I was expecting 3, but 2 is not a shocker. Sometimes it seems when I let them free range for a week straight, on my off weeks, egg production seems to go down slightly. I have looked everywhere but I'm sure one day I am going to get an olfactory surprise of epic proportions as a long abandoned rotten egg, hidden months ago, lets loose.
