How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

4, eggs today. Would've been 5, if one wasn't a broken shell-less egg.

How many chickens?

7 pullets.

They stopped laying totally December 1.

My 13 chickies seemed to have taken a break during the holidays (1 - 4) but we seem to be going back to business as usual since we got 7 eggs today

Caught up!

12/28 - 2!
12/29 - 0
12/30 - 2!
12/31 - 2!
1/1 - 1

After going three weeks without any eggs I am happy to have 1-2 daily.

9 eggs today I’m proud of my girls in this cold weather. I’ve always gave my hens a break in the winter by not using lights to help them lay more eggs and just let them relax all winter in the end it always pays off.

I don't mind mine taking "a break," but that one year they "took a break" for six months was ridiculous. I started adding light when they were done molting and been "off duty" for almost three months. Time to get back to work, Ladies! BTW, the cold shouldn't affect them too much, or at least not nearly as much as the short days.

Only one egg today. But my girls enjoyed their new run space. The starter coop is smaller than described so I got an extra run set up for them.

Very cute! Those starter coops are always very optimistic about how many hens they'll hold. I've looked at them at Orscheln's/ Bomgaar's. If they say they'll hold 6 hens, I agree - if you buy six frozen chickens from the store you could probably fit them in there if you tried. But live hens? Not likely. Two or three maybe, if they're docile and like each other.

Are those your dogs in the background? Look like a Boston and ... some kind of shepherd? Hard to make out detail on my phone.

Sorry, they're probably not that bad. I tend to over-dramatize a bit.
