sootem Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I have six wonderful girls who have laid an egg a day for a couple of months now. This week I have had two days when we only had five eggs. Yesterday morning there were 5 eggs in the nesting box. When I returned home from work yesterday evening (6.30pm) there were two more eggs. I thought that they can only lay one egg a day or am I just being dim! All explainations welcomed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisymay Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 can't explain that. i am currently getting 9 eggs from 8 chickens....maybe they like the warmer autumn weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 that's happened to me too - 3 chickens and 4 eggs. I have no explanation, sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 It's just a blip in their egg production cycle where another egg whizzes through the system a bit quicker (often one will have a soft or thin shell as it hasn't been in the shell gland long enough). I'm getting a few of these at the moment as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
