No eggs in two months this is a problem!

I guess I will just keep the light the same and work on patience. The girls are getting redder and checking out the nest boxes again so we will see. I just hate the taste of store bought eggs and I have been eating them for two months so I am getting tired of it

I have only gotten a few eggs in the past several months. I suspect I have an egg eater (or 2) and haven't been able to catch them. My duck eggs are diappearing too.

Grocery store eggs DO taste terrible when you're used to fresh eggs!

I feel for you!

How do you manage to do that ?

Short of painting a number on the side of our 9 white leghorns and sitting in the coop all day, I can't imagine how I'd keep track of who laid what......but I'd SURE like to !

I don't think I could do it if I had 9 Leghorns! LOL

I have a very mixed flock of 13 laying hens. I get 10 brown eggs, in various shapes, sizes and hues. Plus 1 white egg, 1 blue egg, and 1 green egg. I only have 2 eggs out of the bunch that I have trouble telling the difference between them. Those 2 ladies are sisters. True sisters. Their eggs are very similar!

Once upon a time I had 4 Blue Andalusians, which all laid white eggs. Three of those eggs were super hard to tell apart. Almost impossible, really. Then the fourth girl laid a huge, roundish egg, so that one was easy.

ya I couldn't do it I have to many of each breed. I used to be able to when I had one or two of each breed but now there are two many Marans and Ameraucana. Maybe I will build a trap nest
