16/23 back up again today. I guess they must have gotten the word that I was calling them slackers again or they might have just been taking off for Sunday services, anyway glad they decided to contribute to the cause today.
Got 22 eggs today, the MOST in a long time! I've only been getting on the average 12 to 15, but some days as little as 9 or 10. This is from 38 girls, but some pullets haven't started laying yet (and some hens are REAL old).
Last week finally my EE born in April presented us with a beautiful egg and has laid every day except sunday. I had 4 chicks all but "Martha" were roos(who now have new homes), and I added 3 girls born in August from my pet chickens to my miniflock. They are all together and by next spring I am hoping for 4 eggs a day! But for now I am happy to get Martha's daily egg.
They can lay any time of day, mine are usually done by noon.
5/7 today for me. First time a 5 egg day so the girls are going in the right direction! I immediately made fresh pasta with the eggs this morning. Yummmm
Well, I found a nest yesterday UNDER the coop of all places. 24 eggs total in it. Today i stopped the one I knew was laying under there from doing that today. So far we have had 8 eggs out of 22. This after one got detailed by a hawk but it did not stop her laying. I am sure I will find one or two more today as I do have a couple of late layers. All chicks are 30 weeks old now.
