How many eggs do you get weekly? What do you do with the extra eggs?

Great information, thank you!

Wow! Judging from the egg basket photo used for this thread, this person has a few chicken breeds. So much color and size! Beautiful display. We are down to 6 hens right now with a whole bunch of juveniles to start laying at any time now. We make good use of a mini refrigerator in the garage and store any uneaten or unsold eggs in there. Unwashed refrigerated eggs will last a really long time. With fall and winter not far off in the distance, stocking up on extra eggs is not a bad idea. A nice batch of scrambled eggs over biscuits and gravy will taste mighty good on a cold day!

I get about 7 dozen per week, but most of our girls aren't laying yet. If I can find the time, I'd like to make a batch of egg shampoo bars.

I sell my extras and make enough to buy my feed.

I have 6 chickens I bought from our local tsc. They're red sex links, looking like RIR. I'm getting 4-5 eggs every day. At least one of my hens is producing double yolkers every other day, but I have had days judging by the size of the eggs 2 or 3 will turn out to be double yolkers. I use the wipes just before I use the eggs. I store them in the refrigerator unwashed. Fresh eggs are the best.

We have nine chickens . one has permanently stopped laying, the other is a runt and isn't laying yet. We get 5-7 eggs a day because we have one chicken who is too busy pulling out other chickens' feathers.:cd
And I have a neighborhood egg business going on.

I get 5 to 7 eggs a day, I give friends and also sell.I also feed dried and crashed egg shells back to the laying eggs for calcium supplement.

I have 9 hens laying now and 7 more that are really close. This is what we got over the last 3 days -26 I total I think. We eat a lot and give to Family but I'm gonna have to sell once they all start laying to help the feed bill out. We have RIR, BO, Barred rocks, SLW, and a wellsummer.

I get between 5 and 6 large eggs and usually 2 bantam eggs. With two teenage boys in the house we rarely have extra. Once in a while I gift the neighbors with a dozen to apologize for my loud roo.
