How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

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!
Good to see you again @Marle94!

I’m sorry to hear you lost Bossy and Jade :hugs

Buffy and Flossy are pretty girls, and I’m glad they’re laying for you!
 
This year’s pullet are starting to lay while the adult hens are starting to slack off, probably about to molt. The bottom 6 are from pullets, the lightest cream one under the nearly white one being from Chunky a Cornish cross pullet I’ve decided to keep back for a meaty project (already in progress with 2 eggs about to hatch!)
