The eggproduction is finally cranking up.

One egg today.

That is an unusual colour, very pretty. Who/what breed laid it?

Do you have fake eggs in the nests, good hard ones? How often do you gather eggs? I started to get egg-eaters, but these strategies quickly put a stop to them. I use golf balls. Good luck!

There are 2-3 hard wooden eggs in each nest. I've been watching the camera all morning and running out any time someone leaves a nest box (they're not singing as much anymore).

No eggs eaten so far today! I've gathered two whites, two greens, one peach, and one brown egg, and there's one blue waiting in the other pen. The brown one was laid right at dawn. I'm glad I caught it early.

We used to have roll out nest boxes in our last coop. We didn't have any problem with egg eaters when we had those. We'll be rebuilding those nest boxes later this year.

2 today, from Juin and Brelly

Had to keep the girls in their coop today. It was only snowing lightly, but the wind was frigid. Winter is here at last!

Ten eggs today. Six blue, four brown. That's unusual, normally get more brown eggs than blue. Did not get above freezing today, but not windy, thank goodness so did not seem too terrible.

this was my second breed to have years ago. I really liked them very hardy easy to get along with everyone, great egg layers still laid well at 6 years old.
