Happy chickens! Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Wow - amazing! (And the fact that you are so organised with your record keeping!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 that IS amazing, I am dumbfounded by your record-keeping! how long has it taken for your girls to reach that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 2 years and 7 months, started off with two omlet girls soon after that found two was not enough and got two more, then this spring we added four more. Sadly the two omlet girls are not longer with us. I weigh each egg and most eggs I can tell who layed them. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 that's fantastic, did you start right from the beginning with your system? in the very early days I could tell who laid what, and I did use to pencil the date/name on them but soon gave up. I admire your perseverance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Congratulations I am also in awe of your meticulous record keeping! I have no idea how many mine have laid over the years as I've never kept proper records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joybelle Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Ive kept chickens for three years and write in the diary the total number of eggs I get each day, ive being doing this since the original omlet girls started to lay. I do a weekly tally but never a yearly one. Joy xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I've only ever weighed very large looking eggs or really small ones. Congratulations on your 2000th egg and congratulations for keeping records of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Wow, that's a lot of eggs! Inspired by your record keeping I decided to prepare myself for our first egg by making a very simple spread sheet to see how many eggs we get monthly/yearly and who lays them. Ready for the first egg, any day now... Come on chooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi green I hope you get an egg soon to record on your database. I use a simple Excel database, it has to be simple as my Excel knowledge is limited. I keep a total of the eggs each girls has laid, their weight and record what their heaviest egg has been, also total for the month, year and grand total.
