How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[Granny23]

I have 4 hens, 4 eggs today. I live in San Bernardino County in Southern California and today it snowed!!! It hailed a bit last week and then again today and then it snowed. Of course it doesn't stay on the ground and this is totally out of normal for us. My little darlings each laid an egg, which brings me to why I am here. All of my hens are brown egg layers (1barred rock, 1 buff orp, and 2 RIR's) My oldest Cookie, the BR is laying this very light colored almost pinkish tan color. It doesnt seem to have the polished texture the others have but it is very smooth. Here's a pic of the 4 eggs I got today. The Big one on the right belongs to one of the twins...been getting double yokers from them from time to time.
The 12 eggs in the lovely container, a gift from my neighbor, you can see the variety of colors.Im guessing the colors, and size will even out as they get older? Does shell color have anything to do with their diet? On occasion I give them fruit and vegetables but other than that they get laying mash and have oyster shell available if they want it. (Every few days my grandkids give them a small handful of dried cricket, grasshoppers and mealworms.) The inside is great and the shells themselves are quite strong. These eggs are one from each chicken not all from the same one in case I didn't make that clear.

Congrats on 4/4! One of my Barred Rock lays eggs like that too. Its a little textured, looks like a blush color eggs thats lightly sprayed with white paint LOL. Then there are days its more of a tan to mauve color.

Anyone else collecting eggs twice a day? Some lay early morning, some lay late afternoon...too funny!

Yes, sometimes more than twice. I collect in mornings and if its very cold will check nests around lunch. Hubby checks when he gets home from work and many days he finds a few spoiled ladies waiting to be "escorted" to their nests LOL

Caught my little sweetie Sienna, a young hen laying her 1st egg today!
Not bad at all, just a little smaller than an older EEs egg, hers is the 1 on the right.
