How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[RedwoodCoastChick]

Yesterday 6, today 3. The Whiting's True Blue is still the most regular layer, with the two Easter Eggers mostly alternating days (though yesterday I had 2 green eggs...but none today). The brown egg girls are way more irregular but there are 5 of them and everyone's still laying at least sometimes, based on seeing who's in a nest box and occasional vent checks. And they still squat for me (except the flighty Eggers). So hormones still flowing to some degree!

They're settled on their roosts by 4:50 pm now, dark early and mostly overcast/drizzly here, in the 40s and high 30s at night.

None today. But I don't think they approve of the snow

Got 1 pullet egg yesterday! Which means the other one will probably lay today. 3 out of 10, including 2 new pullet layers, laying sporadically now. My Australorp and BYM are checking out the nest boxes though, so maybe I’ll have a couple new pullet layers before winter really hits!

I got 18 out of the 20 chickens that are laying!

I got 7 out of 7 again today, and I've been noticing a pattern, I think. In the evenings when it's time to lock the girls up to roost for the night, I give them some scratch grains to entice them into their secure night run.

When I mix some crunched up eggshells into the evening scratch, it seems that I get more eggs the next day. When I don't add eggshells to their evening scratch grains for a couple days in a row, egg production drops.

After getting 1 egg a day for the past 2 months the molt has ended. 6 out of 7 are back. BLK AUS with natural sun up to sun down. To put a little icing on the cake, a massive orientation flight from the bees in front of the hive. 58 degrees here in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Bacon, eggs and pancakes topped with honey for Sunday Breakfast..........Life Is Good!

Two pullet eggs today, Cheddar & Kiwi are doing a great job with their tiny little eggs!

Just one. I think I’m down to just 2 that are laying. My olive egger that was laying hasn’t laid an egg all week. She still sits in the nest box for an hour or more a day but doesn’t actually leave an egg.
