8 today. Hubby went to gather eggs since I was feeling under the weather. This was at 2 pm - he said 7 were cold and one was still warm. I told him that one was from Pretty Girl (our Barred Rock) likes to lay during siesta.

10 today. Our hens are 7 months as of yesterday. A flock of 13: 7 Lavender Orpingtons; 5 Barred Rocks; 1 Olive Egger that was supposed to be a Barred Rock.

We started June 21, 2023 with a batch of chicks from Hoover's: 8 Lavender Orps and 8 Barred Plymouth Rocks. Lost a Rock that turned out to be a male @7 weeks or so to sickness. Then lost a BPR and a LO to a Hawks in 48 hours in early September; which changed our mind about Free Ranging them. Then, a BPR became an Olive Egger. Hoover's had no explanation other than 'volume'...really? Anyways; our girls have surprised me coming into winter with an ever increasing volume of eggs with ever increasing weights starting with our first egg at 4 months...weeks earlier than expected. Jan 1 gave us our first 5 egg day; the 7th our first 7 egg day; the 6th our first 8 egg day; the 8th = 10; the 14th = 11; and the last 3 days were 10 each day out of 13 hens.

Sounds like they're kicking into gear. A couple of mine started laying at around 4 months too. Barred rocks.

Rahab a Wyandotte? Have 2 Big Girls small eggs

She is a Speckled Sussex bantam.

The other eggs may have come from my Dominiques, also bantams.

Ok my mistake looked like laced Wyandotte. Have 2 and they lay tiny eggs compared to the other girls I have. And there Big sweet hens.

3 eggs today, Mei, Juin and Août. It’s getting very cold again tonight, but I’m hoping it stays above 0°F. This should be our last really cold night for the foreseeable future, thankfully. I want to let my chickens go foraging again. I’m surprised how much I miss chasing them around the yard
