I collected three, then found a fourth behind the brooder. It was almost white?! :hmm

Update: 4 today, just found another as I checked on the flock. It was probably Martha laying again, now that she's kicked the chicks to the curb!

One yesterday, three today!

Day 14. I saw dark areas but it's hard to candle with a flashlight, through brown eggs. With the eggs in the incubator I saw movement in one, and in another I saw feathers and a beak! :fl

Two...no...three. I collected two before 6pm. When I went out after dark to "candle" the eggs under Tamar one was completely clear! Then I noticed there wasn't a number written on it. Someone laid an egg while Tamar took a break!

After several days of only 1 or none I got three yesterday, woo! Look at the funky long one...

I'm fine, thanks for your concern. The egg flipped out of my basket when I caught myself...inertia took over. Splat. I gave it to the feral cats, and someone enjoyed it!

Only one. And then I tripped on the steps. Net: 0 :(

Two eggs so far today from seven hens, but one is raising chicks, one is actively brooding, and one is playing with the idea of being broody...only practicing it at night. :confused:

Cook them and feed them back to the flock.

I have bantams, the eggs are small. I brought in a dozen for a coworker. Another coworker was interested in getting some until she saw the size of the eggs. Go figure. :confused:

Looks like a Rat snake, to me. Don't kill it, they eat other snakes including venomous snakes like Copperheads. We have so many different types of snakes here, but they control mice, rats, shrews, etcetera, so I don't kill them. I don't kill any snakes except Copperheads, and only if they come...

Love the names!

I have another hen gone broody, so we'll be rationing eggs I guess...we were only getting 2-3 daily as it was. Oh well.

One. Five of seven hens are laying...unless another is going broody? . 🙄

Three! :ya

Only two, but Martha's still focused on chick raising, and now Tamar's gone broody: :gig

Three again. I'm not complaining!

I've been getting 3-4 daily from 6 hens (Martha's broody). Today there was only one in the wheelbarrow, where they like to lay. The nest boxes were empty. Then I noticed that there were two eggs in the back of the brooder! Silly birds.

When my flock gets to scratching they fill up the cups of my 5 gallon waterer. I have waterer nipples on hand, planning on making a second waterer.
