We finally started getting some eggs about 8-10 days ago. We got one every day but one since then. Tonight we got 2. Their really small, but I'm hoping they get bigger as the chickens get older. They have ended up doing well thru the summer. I'm glad we made the effort at this..
They will get bigger the longer they lay.Yeah!

Made this with my eggs this morning. We are getting almost a dozen a day now.
Helomech, I'm goin to go ahead and let you know that those do not appear to be safe for human consumption. I volunteer my services to remedy your situation.
I'm going to need a grid and a foon...............

LMAO, to late. Not even any left overs. Fresh yard eggs, steak and cheese burrito. MMMMMMMMMM
Those looked good Helo! If your getting a dozen/day, how many hens do you have?
We only have 6, i'm not expecting more than 4/day.
25 hens, and 3 roosters. We should average about 17 eggs a day for the year. That is the average for this many Austrolorps. So in the summer time, we should get close to 24 a day. Mine are only 6 months old so they are not laying at full potential. Looking forward to getting a broody hen. Going to hatch a good bit.
Just remember guys and gals....hydrate, hydrate. Egg production will suffer without water. We run around the same number as Helo and averaged similar amounts. But heads up, when it got to be 80/90 degrees we got 1/2 a dozen a day (I thought they were on strike for a minute) We didn't run any type of fans though.
****And BP, remember that today you have 6, lets see where your at in 6 months****
Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
