How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

(8/15) 5! 2 duck and 3 chicken.

(8/16) Got 5. 3 duck and 2 chicken. Another hen laid but her egg was broken in the nest.

(8/17) 4. 3 duck and 1 chicken.

(8/18) 3! 2 duck and 1 chicken.

Egg production sure has went down a lot. A few of the ducks are molting, and I think some of the chickens as well but they aren't just dropping all their feathers, its slow, gradual molting. The heat of course is a factor for egg production too.
 
Welp…it’s been a while since I’ve been here. Lots happened over the summer. I lost two of my girls, Jade and Bossy, and acquired a new Buff Orpington (I think).
Goldie has started laying again, after a short break when the new hen arrived. But I didn’t have any eggs from Flossy or the new hen, Buffy, until a couple days ago. I thought the new hen was laying, since Flossy appeared to still be on strike, but now I’m not so sure.
A couple days ago, I got a nice brown egg, the same size as my Banty eggs. Cool…maybe the new hen is laying! Then yesterday a normal sized egg, but it felt maybe a little thin shelled, not brittle, just maybe thin. Today I got a very pointy egg, along with a tiny Banty egg. BUT, tonight Flossy’s comb is much darker than Buffy’s. So now I wonder if it’s not Flossy finally laying again! Or maybe the pointy egg is Buffy? I don’t know, but I’m glad to have eggs coming again!
