My FlufferButter and Little flocks were a total of 13, so should've been getting 13 total eggs. Xena went broody, so 12 *laying* pullets. It dwindled down over the course of 6 weeks, then we had a week with NO eggs, and then they started up again. Currently we are getting 8-9 eggs per day from them.

The Brat Pack had actually started laying, giving us about 3 eggs the week leading up to the attack. Now that we're down to 4, and they just had a HUGE change of scenery being moved into the main run and new coop, plus the trauma of the attack, not sure when they'll start laying again.

Xena still babies her Nuggets, and we have NO IDEA when they'll start laying.

So, in conclusion, we crack and bomb some of the dirtier eggs in the coop rather than bring them inside.... and we bring in around 4-6 eggs daily.

So just curious for the eggs that don't make it, place in compost units. Back in the day we tossed them.

Doesn't that teach them to eat eggs?

We crack and slam them on to the ground so that they're shattered. It doesn't look like an egg anymore. We'll probably go back to boiling them first, but we got into the habit since the eggs were already frozen and cracked, so they broke apart like boiled eggs.
