How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

9 today. My stock pile may finally be back to keeping up with demand from the extended family. Currently have 3 dozen fresh eggs.

I absolutely love that green speckled egg. I get speckled brown but not very often.
I've got a couple speckled brown layers too but they don't seem to be laying much right now. Waiting for my dark, coppery olive eggers to lay again as they have beautiful shells that are sometimes speckled. I like to think I have a pretty good color variety but it lacks white, solid blue, and proper dark brown. I'd like more than just pastels in my color pallete!

Once everyone starts laying again it will be interesting trying to match the eggs to the hens as it seems some change just a little once they come back into laying. I have a SLW who used to lay a pale egg with bumpy calcium deposits on the tip of the egg, every single time. Now she's molted and back to laying but this time they are lacking the calcium bumps and now have a couple little round indents near the fat end of the egg. Chickens are weird.
 
(2/9) 8!!! 3 duck, 1 bantam, 2 pullet, and 2 standard chicken.

(2/10) 6. 3 duck, 2 bantam, and 1 pullet.

(2/11) 6! 3 duck, 1 bantam, 1 pullet, and 1 standard. Another standard hen laid but it was broken in the nest, so 7 laid.
