How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

4 eggs today, from Juillet and The Pullets



Juillet had laid her egg overnight in the sand just outside the nest box. Her overnight eggs almost always have this bicolor look with half of the egg being coated in heavy bloom. Pretty neat!

Nine today, not counting one completely zipped egg with my broody ... and NO sign of a chick! I don't think it could have slipped out of the rabbit hutch holding the nest, but I guess it's possible. I'm more concerned that Mama may be to blame. She wouldn't be the first hen that got really upset about the fuzzy little yellow things that destroyed her treasured eggs. I just set up my incubator. If another goes missing or gets injured, that Mama's out of a job!

You need to communicate with her that this is her final warning.....you will be fired

My mum made me an apron with little pockets for each egg - 18 pockets.

Only problem is I get 20, 22 even 23 eggs a day. Gonna need a bigger apron!

That's awesome! I'm gonna try to make an egg apron

8 today. less than normal, but thankful.

Just did evening chores and collected eggs

24! Though really I don’t count the OEGB bantam as her egg is teeny tiny and guess what? I didn’t break any!

The Kid, on home leave from his Christian academy for the week, gathered eggs today, as I am still laid up with my knee and his sister, my GC, hyperextended HER knee the other night and is also laid up ... and when I asked him, How many eggs?, looked puzzled, then thoughtful, then grinned and said, "Bunches!" So I'm guessing, maybe 12? I'll count them in the morning, lol.
