Hi! So happy to have you join us. Seems like a long wait to finally get 5 eggs in the nest box! I know exactly what you're experiencing. I have 5 (hens now at 17 months old) in my first flock of layers and the first time I collected 5 eggs was awesome! I always thank my girls for each egg and I was thrilled to thank everyone that day. Have you checked their pelvic spacing to see who's laying and if more are very close to point of lay? I look forward to interacting with you
