I have 208 eggs in the fridge

Anybody know how many eggs a chicken (or duck) can eat per week without it harming their health/nutrition?

Way back when my girls weren't still in strike-mode, I'd make the surplus into a big tray of deviled eggs and take them to Coffee Hour at Church. It's been a while and a few people are starting to ask. These ladies'd better get busy again or they're gonna get excommunicated!

I sell mine, have some regular customers, and a few who will pick up any extras.

Have you thought about donating some to the food pantry or homeless people

Here eggs cannot be sold/donated anywhere except at the ‘farm gate’ - meaning we can only sell them on our property. If one wishes to sell or donate off the property (ie: farmers market) then the eggs would have to be inspected by a licensed govt inspector.

This is the ensure that if there were any health issues the eggs could be tracked to the farm originated from.

I take dozens to the foodbank every year.
Part of the fun of having them.
9 here would have had 10, 1 fell off the counter.

For a moment I read that as you having fallen off the counter….

I got 7. All chicken eggs. Don't know where the ducks laid theirs.

20!!! 15 in the nests, 5 in the "hidden" nest in the front yard. Gonna have to keep them locked up for a while to "home" them to the nests. I think it's the Ameraucana pullets that are "laying out."

8 from my crowd plus 20 broke and eaten
Now need to blow out a egg leave it in a nest with red dye.

Similar here but you can also sell door-to-door or at local markets without registration, provided you keep fewer than 50 birds.

I'd have to be a registered egg producer and packer if I wanted to donate eggs to the local food bank or community fridge.

I started tracking my eggs on a spreadsheet. I’m wondering if anyone else does this and is as interested in what chickens are laying and when.

I have a hen who started laying on 2/26/2026 or 2/25/2026 and has then laid 8 or 9 days in a row. This doesn’t make sense to me as it seems that’s quite rare. I attached my spreadsheet, any thoughts?

(First is egg data, second is chicken data)

TIA!

Caught the greenhouse layer in the act! I'd been thinking of putting a nest box in there anyway.
