July 26

1 green

July 25

at least one brown cannibalized

I removed all the soiled straw from the coop and did not put the ceramic eggs back until new straw was strewn about by the hens. Found at a cannibalized brown egg when I went in the coop to put the ceramic eggs back in the laying area. Laying boxes are needed.

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
