I got 20 eggs out of 21 hens/pullets yesterday! :eek:Only 8 today though.

Golf balls or ceramic eggs in the nest, and gather the real eggs frequently. A bent beak is a convincing argument against pecking eggs! 🤣 I got 13 today. I'm so happy my Sapphire Gem pullets and now my Prairie Bluebell Egger pullets are all starting to lay. Well, some of each, at least. The...

Twelve eggs! Woohoo! And 4 were pullet eggs. Two were very pretty blue eggs, so they were from my Prairie Bluebell Eggers. Two were very small, odd-shaped brown eggs, from Sapphire Gems. We're on our way! My OGs (Old Gals, lol), are not laying so well.

One of my Marans simetimes gives me speckled eggs. Do you have a Marans? Or a Wyandotte, perhaps?

7 again today.

I know, right? 😄 I'll have to go check the catalog so I don't die of anticipation! Figure out what's the earliest I can reasonably expect eggs.

7. My pullets are coming 16 weeks real soon so first eggs out of them are possible any time now. I need to start watching combs for color! Six are Sapphire Gems (blue birds, brown eggs) and five are Prairie Bluebell Eggers (mixed color birds, blue eggs) so I'm eagerly anticipating! :barnie

What do you all do with the extra eggs you get above what your family can use?

I'm a little frustrated. When I look back over my calendar for the last month, it kinda looks like this (for number of eggs per day): 10, 8, 3, 7, 2, 8, 10, 3, 11, 10, 5.... etc,. I've had a light on for them until 7 pm every evening since mid-February. They should be laying consistently. Is...

10 :thumbsup

Eleven today! :clap Have been getting 5 or 6. Sorry I'm way behind. Chicks have been keeping me busy and I quit getting alerts.

Got 10 yesterday, only 5 today. Sold 6 dozen today, yay!

10 today!

I did a double take when I read this, for a second I thought, what kind of chicken is a Crepe Myrtle? I knew I had heard that name before! 🤣 Then I realized you meant that's the tree/shrub where your hens lay their eggs! Anyway, I got six today. Will be culling out my non-layers in the next...

Eight. Five brown, two chocolate, one blue.

I only got 3! :barnie

Only 6 today. It snowed starting yesterday afternoon and through the night, then I think it rained. There wasn't much left this morning but it has been cold.

Same. Five boxes on the wall, usually only the first two get used. But there is also an "emergency" box on the floor next to the door; I've been getting 3 to 5 eggs there. And sometimes there will be an egg in a makeshift nest on the floor under the nests. A creative, independent batch I have...

A large brown egg that was laid last week proved to be a double yolker and surprised my GirlChild! 🤣
