Today's temperature = # of eggs.

Yesterday was rainy and high of 47 degrees. Today it's 20 degrees and snowing like CRAZY! I got 3 eggs from my 13 hens so far today, and yesterday I got 8 eggs.
 
Yesterday was about 65-67 and we collected 7 eggs from 13 hens- 4 of them are right at the age where they should start laying any day now....then there are 5 that should start up at the beginning of summer so weare expecting 13-18 eggs daily when they are all happy....
 
This morning, I collected 3 eggs from my girls. 2 are hen eggs and one is a larger pullet egg. my girls are growing up so fast. cant wait for my youngins that Im keeping to start laying :)
 
Went home for lunch and collected 11/17. 25 lo last night 52 expected hi for today. Pretty sunshine today. The chickens like it, but so do the hawks so no free range without supervision.
