You know next year I will be here saying one or two a day..... So, I will enjoy my bounty this year Thank you

How old are your pullets? I had the same idea but my new pullets are not producing like I hoped. And to top it all off, you’re in IL and I’m down here in the Deep South wondering what’s up with my chickens. I have 3 EEs that I hatched in April. They all laid back in late summer but since then just shut down like my older girls.

11 of them are 7months. The Australorps are around 5 months. My EE and Maran lay every other day. I know 2 of my Australorps lay eggs one layed one egg went broody the next day. She takes everyones eggs and pecks at me when I collect them. She is just about broke now.
I do not do lighting but the coop/run is always open. This way they don't wait for me to get outside. They do come out about 6:30 am getting a faint morning light.
Part of the run doesn't have a roof but netting. I was hoping this would help in the shorter day light( to get as much direct lighting).
I also have chickens that lay a large amount. I did research on breeds dual purpose , that layed large eggs. The Ee, and Maran were just down right cuties and an extra buy. The barred rocks the store sold to me as Australorps. That is why the age difference there.

4 out of 5. I gave up on breaking one of the broodies for now, I only have one cage and the two broodies aren’t very nice to each other when they’re locked up together.

7 eggs out of 7 laying hens. Our Olive egger just started laying so I wish I took a picture of the eggs but we had a new record today!

All four Midnight Majestic Marans gave me nice brown eggs today.I have 2 olive eggers but none from them today. Most days they do though. My Brahmas are growing feathers and stopped laying. It was freezing and cloudy today, so I’m thankful to still be getting any eggs.
