Another strange story........ (I hope this was no one from this thread.

Someone emailed me and asked me how much were my turkey eggs. I replied with the price per egg (for hatching). I get another email from the same person and she is asking me what price could I give her for a dozen. I'm like, "HUH". I can give her the same price that both of our calculators will give us when we both multiply $3.00 x's 12 eggs and that is $36.00 for a dozen of eggs. Did I miss something?

Jeff,

Along those lines, I read on this thread, I think, that each chicken has just so many eggs to produce in their lifetime. I would rather my hens produce slower; less eggs overa longer time. Right now my Black Stars produce close to an egg a day. My RIR almost that much, about 5 a week. I feed them layer feed, oyster shell, scratch, grit and some kind of little treat each day (tomato, grapes, yogart, etc.) I want them to be healthy, but is there a way to slow their laying down and keep them healthy? They are my pets, so I don't plan to cull them when they quit laying.

Hey my chicken math(amount of heads) is not the only thing that is questionable(they say, or so I've been told) about me, that's for sure, hey, but I'm used to it wouldn't have it any other way LOL

Those pullets(primrose mom) are still yet young and this time of the year they will produce anywhere from 5 to 7 eggs a week usually will skip a day in 7 to 10 days, but anyway when they really get to pushing the girls to produce through their molt and short days like they would under normal circumstances without 14 hrs of light(by using artificial lighting) and souping up their diet by adding 30-50 % protein (soy rations) and such like they do them in the factories, This is the wear and tear that is so stressful and actually makes those hens age drastically they usually leave those layer operations like a old lady with osteoporosis(same principal/after menopause/out of eggs) Your girls will take a natural rest during molt and will start up naturally during the later winter months. This couple of months/45 to 60 days rest will do wonders to the health of your girls.

Kuntrygirl yes I like to keep my GOOD LAYERS for a long time too(5 or more years) to hatch many more from them as they are the proven ones, the slackers and slouchers don't 'bide too long here.

If she would have said that she wanted to buy 12 DOZEN eggs, then that would have been a different story. :/

Once again, THANKS, Jeff. It looks like I'm good then. Just do what is natural for a chicken to do and all is well...hummm...I like that.
