How are everyone's girls laying?

How are everyone's girls laying?

My 2 SS, Eggatha Christie and Margaret T. Hatcher, continue to lay regularly; about 4-5 eggs per week, each.

My SS is laying pretty regularly. Her eggs are still small (about 52 grams average) but they are getting up there in size. I actually put 4 of them under my broody hen last week and am hoping to hatch at least one pullet from her. The rooster is a cream legbar, so the babies should be interesting.

That is great! Such cool names for such fantastic birds.

Great! I wonder if your soon-to-be pullets will lay a variety of colors.

Mine are not laying at all. I was getting one egg a day but once it snowed and the routine changed - notta. I started a light in the coop a week ago. We'll see.

Thanks. I've got a great name all picked out for a future hen: Edna St. Vincent Will-lay.

Oh no. I pray that production picks up.
