Same thing down here, 40 lf and I'm getting 5 eggs a day if I'm lucky.

I am doing a celebration dance today! I was able to move my broody hen back into her flock today without to many fights. She has been with the BLRW's for 6 months but the young roo darn near scalped her trying to mate. Since we are looking at freezing temps tonight she can snuggle up with her "sisters".

Wow, I was grumbling at my hens for not laying but I think I should be grateful for 4 or 5 eggs a day out of 16 hens after reading. Luckily the 4 ducks give me 2 a day, thank heavens for ducks in the rain, lol. Now we won't even discuss the couple of bantams my daughter owns, they are apparently done until they see a sun for real.

Same here!
One young trio and one young adult pair of ducks have taken off running and laying everyday. Set a batch for a friend to raise and finally had to start baking. I'll be covered in duck eggs. The other young pair (parents of that darned singleton that we've been trying to brood-match =:~) looks like they are getting 'frisky' a bit too. thank goodness the two fancy colored dilute pairs are waiting.
Can't the chickens take the hint?

We're still getting about 2 dozen a day out of our first-year flock of 50-ish birds (some of those are roosters) using no artificial light. They dropped off sharpish one day, from 4 dozen per day to 2. So far it has been covering our regular customers about perfectly.

Hell mine aren't old enough to lay yet my blue red should be getting close though if she will even lay this wintet

April, I wasn't for sure rather to post you here or fb.....
I have a mixed group of pullet eggs set to hatch at Christmas and a batch of them are B/Wh Am's. Again, they are pullet eggs so until I candle I won't have any idea how many to expect. I have a brand new chick from a test egg (first laid) so I know the possibility is there.If you want me to let you know on development just drop me a line to remind me =:~) As a side note, the splash wheaton are quite lovely if your mom just wants some pretty laying (or softly crowing) pets. good luck and best wishes, k/
