Today's egg count! What's yours?

[Sarevan]

We have 1 white leghorn, 3 california greys, 2 welsummers, 6 easter eggers, after the winter break of hardly laying they have gone insane. We are now getting 10-12 eggs a day! One of the white layers, one of the EE's take a break every other day.

Ours eggs are white, brown, different shades of green and pink. I gave over 80 eggs to a church group from a weeks worth of eggs. I did not expect them at a year old to be such laying maniacs and we have 9 buff orpington chicks, I am going to be up to my eyeballs with eggs next year. What did we do!!!

I get 2 a day, have 3 hens, and I am sure only 1 does the laying, Franny. She lays most days but miss a day or so here and there. I suppose that's normal ? I am new to this. They at 5 months old. I think a new bird may have laid yesterday, it was smaller with a very thin shell! What can I feed them for calcium besides egg shells? And oyster shells? Will my others come around?

3/4 again . The wind blew the door to the run closed while we were gone so they couldn't access the coop or nests. Note to self "prop the door open".

We have 4 hens and my two ameraucanas don't lay every day. It happens and it's a nice surprise when we get 4/4 You will be 3/3 before you know it.

Got my first white egg today! Nutmeg is a Polish hen that I thought for sure was broken. Almost 6 1/2 months old.

That made my count 4/7.

So far 3/5 or 3/7. Not sure whether or not to count the 2 who just got over being broody. I should go check again. One of my girls likes to lay in the afternoon.
