Mama Cayuga got very sneaky on me. I started only getting 5 eggs and I could tell hers was missing due to the color difference but I looked all over and couldn’t find it. I started to think she had stopped laying again due to age. I went to refill the oyster shells and she had been somehow squeezing her fat butt under the bin and hiding her eggs there, buried in the bedding. Only place I didn’t look because I didn’t think she could fit. Maybe she rolled them under? My drake was pissed when I found them. I found 5!

Oh yes he is protective of the eggs this spring. And I know that they are trying to trick me into not finding all the eggs. They lay 2-3 out in the open as decoy nest and then try and hide the rest. I feel kind of bad about it but I 100% don’t want them hatching ducklings and risk getting a male who would I would have to deal with.

My hens on on a run...... 10 days 100% production from 6 hens. Is this normal? Should I expect this on a regular basis? I purchased several breeds and only 1 hen was known for daily production. So I am pleasantly surprised. I am new to having chickens (obviously) and purchased these chicks last September. I feed them a 22% protein layer and meat bird variety of food as several of our hens are dual purpose breeds. Thanks for any advice or insight!

Barbra Lewis is on Day 72 without a break. Even hybrid vigor, I am worried a bout her. Brandy should start soon.

They go at it when they are young. Age will slow them down but enjoy your eggs.

Her mother is a very consistent layer. Have any of her eggs been off color ? Just wondering because of her dad being a runner .

She has a dark spot on each egg. But otherwise very clean and nice.

Will you eat them soft-fried? I can only eat them scrambled or in an omelet, they kinda gross me out how big they are just soft fried.

I make omelets out of them one goose egg for 2 people.
