Janty Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Now that it's Winter I am getting about 9 or 10 eggs a day. I sell a few at school and WI and that pays for their feed. I also keep the neighbours and Dad supplied with eggs. Today I went out to collect the eggs and there were 19. Especially when you consider that I have two broodies and five babies. 19 is an amazing amount in the Summer months...in Winter it's unheard of.

abwsco Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 OMG at 19 I've had two eggs in three days and the DD's dancing teacher has been waiting for her eggs for over two weeks two as we're getting so few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 We have 10 laying hens (2 babies not started yet), and have been getting 8-10 eggs a day At the moment they are paying for their own feed and hemcore and still leaving me enough for our needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Wow - 19 - I would be panicking at what to do with that many. Not that its a problem at the moment - I only had 1 yesterday, naughty girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimnpaula Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Lucky you! I haven't had any eggs for at least a week. Whilst I'm glad my ex batts are regaining their strength and their feathers I do wish one of them would give me a little bonus sometime...
