How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

4/23
not so good.
If they are not broody, they are getting over being broody.
I have a clicker in the coop to keep track of the total number of eggs we have gotten since they started to lay last august.
we are up to 3427.
they can rest.
that's a lotta eggs.
 
13/16 today,I had one hen eating eggs,I finally discovered the guilty one,I put her in a pen alone for two days then put her back with the flock,she has not ate an egg since,maybe she read the writing on the wall???

Seven out of nine laying with one of those probably on strike, playing at being broody. I say playing at, because she sits on the nest and screams and chitters at any bird that comes near her, but then gets up to scratch around in the run and wander around in the coop. The new girls aren't laying yet, but the oldest of them are 19 1/2 weeks, and the youngest are 17 1/2 weeks. They are all getting red-faced and one of the Marans squatted for my husband yesterday. So. . . we may be up to our eyeballs in eggs in a week or two.
