How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

For the first time, all 3 if our adult girls laid. Pepa, the alpha laid the big brown one. That's how we know she's laid. 2 scovy eggs and a rouen.

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.
forgot the snow shovel this morning so got another blood blister.
 
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!
The age is the key I think
