Oh, and curiously I collected 7 eggs from 5 hens today. How??

If this is a taste of summer than I better get all my jobs done before the heat really starts!

I would! We put new roofs on the runs yesterday and it was hot! Didn’t realise but we both caught the sun!

Maybe they laid later (after you collected) yesterday and then again before you collected today? I know that’s happened with mine when I’ve collected at different times. It usually takes 24 hours for them to produce an egg.

I have that sometimes with my quail. Nice little extra surprise!

Nope, I check the coop several times a day. It was empty at 8am,then 4 eggs at 11am, nothing at 2pm and 3 more at 6pm.
Baffled.

That's crazy having snow in mid April. When does spring start for you?

Allegedly it starts March 21st.....someone forgot this year It is supposed to be warmer this weekend - fingers crossed. I can stand the cold but I am tired of the snow now.

Hi, I’m from the Glasgow area and have never kept poultry before so apologies in advance if I ask any silly questions

Hi great to see you here!. The only silly question is the one that isn't asked! We're all here to help so ask away! How many/what hens have you got?
