Who turned the switch back on? (PIC)

[Wynette]

Okay, so of my 6 pullets, only 1 is laying. I've been getting 3-5 eggs a week, occasionally an extra one once or twice a week. So I check nest boxes when I got home from work yesterday, and I found FOUR eggs! Could NOT believe it! And, to top it off, one was a SUPER WOMBO egg of 3.85 ozs.! I've had big ones, but thus far, that is my biggest one. I took a pic (sorry - not sure why it's fuzzy!). The 4 eggs on the left are the ones I got yesterday, the bottom right egg is a Jumbo I put in the pic for comparison to the WOMBO, and the bottom left one weighed in as a medium egg. I know this isn't a big deal to most of you, but I was just thrilled, and had to share!:

Michigan???? My doggone Oklahoma chickens are eating, drinking, and being merry. . .but not laying. Goofy chickens.

Yeah, it's just heartbreaking to me when I go check and find nothing. Maybe you're "switch" well get turned back on soon, too!

Back on? Mine started laying the end of August and have laid all winter.

LUCKY!!!! What breed(s) do you have? Whatever they are, can I have some?

Mine took a break for a couple of weeks while we had some sub 0 weather, but they've been laying like crazy ever since. Yesterday I got like 47 eggs and two duck eggs.

ISA Browns and Blacks. They started laying at 15 weeks. I was really surprised to find an egg in the nest box.

Wynette, you will have to let us know if that's a three yoker wombo egg. It's huge! Glad you have more hens laying now.

Heidi, nope - it was only a double yolker, and I ate it for dinner that nigh, because I accidentally dropped it on the counter after I weighed it. Must have been SOOOO heavy that I couldn't handle the weight! B AHAAHA

Only got one egg last night. Sheesh!
