How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

It wants be brought in the house and warmed up

I was up to 3/day and back down to 1/day since the sun has been lazy and cloudy out?

Is it normal to find them all in one nest? I know the Cayuga isn’t laying them all or they’d be the same color and size. Sometimes I would put a ceramic egg in the nest to entice the responsible gal to sit on them. Most of the time it’s rolled out and poo covered the next day.
I tried unsuccessfully hatching them but my boys must not be doing it properly. They are definitely minute men. I can see the willys out but it’s over in less than 1-2. Maybe I need to play some Marvin Gaye??

Color is similar today, still have streaks where something has scratched the color off. Also my other ducks egg shells are virtually indestructible but this one seems more fragile since there are some dings in it.

My Cayugas first few eggs were a lovely dark black and have since faded to a very light color. Is that normal? I liked the dark ones! They get plenty of good food, oyster shell and vitamins in the water....

From what I have read about Cayugas that is normal.

The last week I have had 3 or 4 everyday now! My little Astralorp continues to lay one per day first thing in the morning. With six hens, I wonder when I will have 6 eggs in one day for the first time? I also do not think all 6 of them are laying yet. Everyday is exciting to go see what I can find.

I have 14 hens and only one little cochin bantam laying yet.
Plus my 3 youngest Runners

I have 5 girls and have been getting three eggs a day regularly for the past month or so. I'm curious to see when the other two start laying. I'm not entirely sure who is or isnt but I suspect that it's my rouens (bluish eggs) and one of my black swedish (an off white color). They are all about 9mo.

Yes, same thing has happened to mine as well, the mor they lay, the lighter the egg. But when they stop laying and then start up again you will likely have a few dark ones to start with

I think some of it depends on ages and breeds. My younger chickens are almost an egg a day in those that are laying even the breeds with lower production, but in my older hens, only certain breeds like my RIR is laying regularly
