i got 9 eggs today out of 10 hens that should be laying at this time woohooo.

I got 2 eggs, from 3 hens. I really need to get more hens.

Zero. Zip. Zilch. But it has been -20 and below the past few nights, so I guess maybe they've been busy trying not to freeze!

That sucks! I didn’t know freezing and busting eggs was a thing. I may find out. It’s supposed to get down to 13F Monday night. That’s super cold for here.

Anyways, 13 today

Our lows have been single digits and some days so have our high temperatures . Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 7 degrees Fahrenheit and the low is supposed to be - 2.

With temps - 33 Celsius over night, getting 5 to 7 eggs daily from 4 hens and 8 pullets.

Yup it hurt coming out .. Had to up take about 26 birds from my bud, rehomed like 10 of them. The ones still here just started laying

First, got 6 eggs from 7. Wonder if these 2 shell-less ones were from the same girl? They were together laid near the nesting boxes. Could the sudden snowstorm have caused this to happen? We have over 12" on the ground, and mid 20's to low 30's. It has been in the 40-50 range until this weekend. I'd also been finding cute pullet eggs before this.

It doesn't matter what the temp is at night, they USUALLY don't lay then Though I've had a few "off the roost" eggs over the years and yep the ones laid in the really cold weather were frozen and cracked.

What are the temps supposed to be during the day Tuesday? Can you check the nests a few times during the day or do you have to be away from the house? They don't freeze immediately, I usually go out every 3 hours to check for eggs. If more than one hen is laying in the nest they will collect up any existing eggs so that keeps eggs that were laid earlier from freezing.
