4 brown

25 brown, 3 green Saturday-Friday. Running total is now over 3 brown eggs per chicken each week. to stay at 25 will require 3 on Saturday, 5 on Sunday... I wouldn't be surprised to see total drop to 23 brown by Sunday... I doubt it will go below 22 until the old cohort stops... 4 young birds should be producing over 18 eggs per week in full production, and that is coming soon.

Purchasing eggs

$5 per dozen

These eggs have not been washed – they have a protective cuticle.

Wash before using.

Refrigerate after washing.

Eggs are put in cartons with the oldest eggs along the hinge side of the carton.

I use white and green eggs to delineate new days the white eggs mark the start of a day, green end of day.

Chickens are fed organic feed and scratch.

They also are fed kitchen scraps, most of which is also organic.

The logging to the right has most the most recent day's egg totals

followed by a rolling time series of 7 days production by color

then 3 day and 7 day totals
