Egluntyne Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 For the first time since I have owned them (or they have owned me) all eight hens have laid an egg in one day. Usually I get 5 or 6, sometimes 7 but never before have there been eight. All huge too. And to think I used to buy eggs from the supermarket!

Mrs Frugal Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Lucky you ! I've never managed 3 eggs from 3 hens because Clarry became ill and stopped laying just as Izzy started laying . Trust me to get duds ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Lucky you! Mine are on strike at the moment (I have 7 hens and two are broody, but I only get on eegg a day at the moment) - I have cut out any treats at all and have wormed them too - it's far too early for them to be slowing down for the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Congratulations on your 8 egg day I've never had a 6 egg day even when all mine were laying There was always someone having a rest day I've got 5 moulters at the moment Ruby is the only one still laying. I've had to buy eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
