Who’s laying?

[featheredplanets]

Red sex links start laying by 22 weeks and usually are consistent layers. I have 2 and they have laid an egg every day since 20 weeks. That's their sole purpose in life is to lay eggs and they often pass away earlier than most breeds around 3-5 years due to their egg productivity.

You could get a game cam and put it in your coop to see who's laying. I do believe I've read putting food coloring in the vent area works to see who's laying and who isn't, I've never tried it.

I know, which leads me to believe it’s the soft shell layer who isn’t laying. I was contemplating setting a camera up but with them all sitting in the nests at once, I don’t know which egg is coming from which hen.
