How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Most of us get chickens math to some extent

I re-homed a cockerel and bought three more pullets. Addition by subtraction math.

Let me preface this by saying that we are newbie chicken owners. Our 9 girls and 1 boy (all Buff Orpingtons) are about 6 months old. We've been looking thru the coop each day to check for an egg. This afternoon I spotted one egg nestled in the shavings. I was so excited that I immediately took a picture & shared it with family & friends. Little did I realize that mere minutes later, I would need to send another picture. I was cleaning the waterer when something (or rather some things) caught my eye, a clutch of eggs. 15 to be exact! All the eggs were tucked in under the nesting boxes. The nesting boxes have 2 fake eggs in them. Apparently, under the boxes is better than the boxes themselves. We did lay a 2x6 as a means to walk up to the nesting boxes. I think we need to put slats on it to help them get up there. If you have a suggestion, I’m happy to hear it. I read that some folks put a "curtain' in front of them to provide privacy. I can easily do that via staples and some fabric from my stash. I’m just glad I happen to spot the eggs!

Nice coop! You could charge rent on that!

3 out of 5. But I did see a crow take off with one this morning. We've had lots of trouble with them lately and some days I've gone without getting a single egg. And I've only got 3 dozen eggs in the cupboard! The girls are slacking, I've usually got 5!

Joking by the way, we get way too many eggs for us. We usually only have them on the weekends or if I bake something.
