how's it going out there got an of yours laying ? mine are all molting

I am trying to count how many hens I have, in my head, not actually IN my head, but.....anyways
10 Sulmtaler
3 OE
2 Ams
2 ChantiesxCuckoo Marans
2 Blue Barnies
2 brown barnies
1 Excequer leghorn
1 silver Barnie
1 Gray Swedish Flower
1 Biel
I think I got them all ??
So 25 of them, and the 2 Ams are just getting over molt, all the others molted 2 months ago, and I am getting about 8 eggs a day.........2 Sulmtaler, 1 OE, 1 Swedish, 1 leghorn
3 barnie
I imagine next week I will be getting about 3 eggs a day, if that !
Last week I was getting about 14 eggs a day...mostly Sulmtaler...but it is darker now.
After Christmas, the lay should start getting better, and setting eggs around the mid-January for flock replacements that will be at POL in June 2018
 
We do have auction thread I do not know about I do not know about any others night

The auction thread(s) are in the same place as sales ads, you simply state that when you write your ad, if it is a "buy it now" or if it is an "auction"....last I looked, we could place ads, but not delete old ads, and could not update without bumping them...the ad and auction system we had before this last software update was AWESOME.....and I waited forever to see if Nifty could/would get the new software updates going so we could still have such an awesome sales/auction forum, but still, MONTHS later, it has kinks...sucks
 
That's because I dont visit as many threads. Penny is a more social person than me.

I get 1-2 large eggs a day out of 13 hens. The youngest one of those girls is 3 and the oldest five are 7. 3 are molting.

I get 10-12 eggs a day from 16 laying silkies. There are three 6-7 year old hens in there but old silkie hens still lay well. 14 other silkies are too young, broody, or just off the nest in the last couple days.
 
I have 12 birds of laying age...havent had an egg in over a month!
But they are all just coming out of a heavy molt so fi gers crossed.

4 brabanter girls at 7 months
3 brabanters at 9 months (maybe 10)
1 brabanter at 2 years
2 orpingtons at 1.5 years
1 orpington / legbar 1.5 years
1 bantam cochin at 2 years

I want my eggs back!

Yeah, since I sold all my beilefelders and marans, we have far less eggs per day, but I am strongly looking into getting a new breed for that empty coop.....maybe....or just cross breeding new colors
And Penny is a chatter box, LOL ! :gig
