If you know how many chickens you have, you need more.
According to chicken math, none.
I have two ducks that have been laying, and one still holding out.
I have ... I really don't know for sure how many chickens I have. I think it is 23. That would be .... Wait. Maybe 22. Ummmm... I think I have 12 that could be laying.
Plus three female ducks
Plus a female turkey.
I was getting 13 eggs a day, then 11 when the EE stopped. Now nine if both current laying female ducks lay.

I have 14. One EE is broody and I have yet to catch my 2 Welsummer cross pullets laying. I can't figure out if there are eggs that are theirs. So I know for sure I have 11 laying. We got 10 eggs yesterday. Right now it ranges from 6-10 a day. I try to keep the less then five dozen in the fridge. I have a lot of siblings to give them too plus the owner of barn where my horse lives puts in her order
 
This week I have noticed a greener egg in the mix. I mentioned yesterday that I thought it odd that my EE egg had gotten greener and darker. Yesterday there was a green egg. My EE is laying in box now. Soooo I will be able to see if the eggs match OR my Wellie mixes are OEs and finally laying!!!
 
Desperation has me asking everyone. "Can" I get a plumber? The only one to respond will charge $150 for coming out.
I had a handyman "fix" it. He changed the gasket(? the rubber thing) and told me that it's normal to drip for a few seconds and not to over tighten. It was leaking again within a week. The guy is too old and overworked to come back.
Do you know what could be wrong?

I know! Right? His hard cider is amazing. You should bottle it and sell it. And if you trick or treat here, you would be the only one. We never get any. But I don't let that stop me from buying the candy....just in case. ;)

Hard water deposits can prevent valve from closing completely...I will have radioman give you a call.
 
Anyone want a Welsh Harlequin drake? I have an extra one.

How about roos? I have extra cockerels of these breeds if anyone is looking for good breeding stock. I am going to free range any that are still left when it gets cold and I have to abandon the portable coops for the winter. They are all very colorful and well behaved (so far, the Legbars might develop a bad attitude later).
  • Black Ameraucana (show birds directly from Johh Blehn)
  • Silver Ameraucana (show birds directly from Johh Blehn)
  • Jill Rees Cream Legbars

Any of these could hitch a ride west on the chicken train next weekend.
