Today was 1c+ I had eight eggs from y chickens and 2 from my ducks. Here is the breakdown 2 from my two Marans, 2 from both my Barred Plymouth Rock, 1 from one of my Leghorns, 1 from my Blackrock, 1 from my Ginger Ranger and 1 from my Bluebell, 2 duck eggs from my two Khaki Campbells.
Not bad as they are laying this number almost every day from a flock of 10 chickens and 2 ducks. Based in South Wales Valley where we have had all the extreme snow falls, snow as deep as over 16ins all in.

... and i should say we are in So Central NH.

Is it the feels like or the base degrees we are going by?

I go by actual. There is no "feels like" if there is no wind. So unless one's coop is super drafty, the girls don't have wind unless they choose to be out in it.

PLUS: wind chill (or "feels like") is the temp on BARE skin. Other than naked neck chickens (and possibly a bit on the face), the girls are all down coats, no bare skin so "actual" IS "feels like".

Yes, but what was the temp? My interest (and bogus theory) related to eggs laid "today" at "today's" high and low temp compared to eggs laid "yesterday" and the high and low temp "yesterday".

I think there also needs to be a component related to the "normal temp" for the area during a given time period. If the range is USUALLY +30 F to +40 F but hits a rare 20F, it might affect the girls differently than if their usual range is -10 F to +30F and it is 20F on a given day but was 10F or 30F the prior day.

Wow, a post from the future! Or is that a prediction??

Based in South Wales Valley where we have had all the extreme snow falls, snow as deep as over 16ins all in.

-9°c 7 eggs from 9 girls

About 2 Centigrade here, one egg so far from my Silkies. Snow nearly gone now.

Look at all the non North America International posters! I love it.

Of course, to those of you outside N.A, WE are the "International" posters

I'm guessing your SLW isn't going to lay tomorrow but you should be good for the Leghorn and 2 EEs.

Some of my girls are starting to show a pattern based on time of day they last laid. Of course it IS more obvious when someone has to go out every hour to see if there are any eggs so they don't freeze!

Zorra laid before 8 AM, Persephone (*) late afternoon. If Zorra sticks to what must be a 24 hours and not very many minutes cycle, she'll lay for many more days to come. And Persephone will probably take tomorrow off.
(*) If I correctly remember what my wife told me!

Correct... My SLW seems to want to be on a 26.5 - 27 hour cycle... But our recent extreme temp oscillations have totally disrupted that in the last week or so... and she's is currently running on a 29ish hour cycle... But yeah, 29 hours from yesterday's lay time will be around 8:30 or 9 tonight... and she'll have gone to roost for the night long before that. Even her usual 27ish hour cycle falls after bedtime today. So, she's definitely off today.

I am glad that you're beginning to notice a pattern on your girls too... It pays to pay attention. That's how you SCIENCE!

Since mine have an automatic door that lets them out in the morning, it has helped to inform me on which days I am not expecting any first thing in the morning eggs... and thus, when it's ok to sleep in a little.

I should get 3 eggs today, all right around 3pm or 4pm. Tomorrow will likely be a lonely 1 egg day.

less than 20degrees yesterday and got 7 eggs from my 9 GoldenCommets. Yesterday we got 8.
