I'm trying to figure out who's laying which eggs and who's not producing. All 6 hens are young and still within production age but some aren't laying for some reason and I don't know why? I only had 1 hen left from last year's chicks as something killed all my other chickens and ducks. So I took Pretty Mama and put her in the garage to protect her. Then a few weeks ago I bought 5 more hens from a friend who's moving and they were all laying at her house daily. So I currently have:
Barred Rock (My survivor)
Rhode Island Red
2 Buff Orpington's
Blue Laced Red Wyandotte
Mutt (RIR & Golden Comet)

I get 3 or 4 eggs a day but no way to tell which ones are actually laying, which eggs they are laying and which ones are not? I can upload pictures of eggs tomorrow evening (they are evening layers) since we already ate the ones from today.
 
The first day I brought them here they didn't lay anything but then 2 days in a row I got 5 eggs. Then 3 eggs for 2 or 3 days and now 4 seems to be the magic number.
