2 eggs from 2 hens. The other two are not laying yet.

I have been averaging 12-15 eggs a day from my hens - I think all of them are of age so I guess I have 30-35 hens??? Not bad for January.

I have 15 hens - 5 are about 2 years and 10 new ones that are about 22 weeks old now. Today we got 11 eggs - all 10 white egg layers are now laying! Only one of my original 5 brown egg layers is still laying this winter. And i think that is only because we put a light in the coop, comes on at 3:30 am! But I'm NOT complaining.. almost a dozen per day (9-11 average since the light was installed). Yipee!!

My girls have been kind of slacking off lately!

We got either 6 or 7 eggs today from 12 hens. We got 2 new hens on Saturday and have only gotten 2 eggs from them so far. Get to it, ladies! Didn't y'all know you're just supposed to be egg machines?

Please tell me your secret for getting eggs in the middle of winter in Mid-Coast Maine, also where I live. I have a light on in the pen and have the girls out whenever it is sunny. They have been making some indications of wanting to lay but so far nothing. What do you feed? What's your secret for success?

Hi folks,
I'm working on my biology master's degree and have to do a bio-stats project this term.
I had the idea of seeing if there is a relationship between egg laying and the amount of natural daylight using stastical analysis.

I hoping that I can get some data from from other areas of the country to lessen any bias of the analysis. That's where you can help me. If you do not have artificial light in your coop and count the number of eggs you get each day, I can use that information if you are willing to share your egg count for the next 8-10 weeks. I can calculate the hours of natural daylight at your location just using the city where you live in the US or the lat/long if you are outside the US.

I formatted my spreadsheet like this:
Date Layers Eggs Daylight
1/11112 5 5 9:19
1/12/12 5 3 9:21

If you would like to help, please PM me. Or e-mail to [email protected]

Thank you.
