1 green, 4 brown.
4 green, 28 brown past week
2 green, 13 brown past 3 days.
Americauna seems to be producing an egg every other day again. She's consistently laying behind the feed bin along with 2 other hens.
28 brown eggs in a week suggests 3.5 eggs per hen each week. Full production should be 4-5 eggs per hen (americauna has laid 4 eggs in the past week every day this week beginning on Monday).
I'm going to assume the young cohort (4 hens) is laying 4+ eggs per week - call it 18 eggs. That means the other 4 old hens are laying 6-10 eggs between them, or 1.5 - 2.5 eggs per week. Given 7 brown eggs on March 5 there must be at least 3 older hens laying.
It will be interesting to watch production as spring turns to summer. I should do a count of my eggs on hand to get a large/medium breakdown. Will post on this later.
