Hi friends,

Okay, so after a few missteps on our chicken startup, we've ended up with:
1) Blue-laced Wyandotte
2) Golden-laced Wyandotte
3) Light Brahma
4) Partridge Barred Rock

So for you experts out there, knowing this, once my girls start laying, about what should I expect per week in eggs. Thanks so much....

So do you have 4 hens or 10 hens?

If you have 4 hens you'll get 1 or 2 a day when they are laying well.
 
I have four hens, two have been laying for a couple months now, and one of the other two just started laying a few days ago. I still haven't figured out if both of the youngest hens are laying or not, but I have been getting 3 eggs a day for several days now. There will be days I will get 4 and days that I will get one.

I'm sorry, I meant to say I have one of each of the types I mentioned in my original post. So, I have four hens. It sounds like I should expect up to 14-15 eggs per week???

Wow!
 
What should you expect? You should expect to see some very pretty birds whenever you care look

I've only had the Light Brahma on your list, a little slow off the starting line, that one. But, I really like the LB - especially the personality.

I have 4 hens, Black Australorps and Barred Rocks. This past week, there were 23 eggs
