Well, 7 eggs so far today... one additional brown egg yesterday. Crazy chickens are finding a new place to hide the eggs - on top of sack of oyster shell calcium supplement.
Lost two eggs due to week shells - a couple of hens are not eating their oyster shell. Cracked eggs lead to a form of cannabilism as the hens like to eat eggs. Thankfully they crack as I'm harvesting them and I can get them out of the egg box and toss them into the yard. Egg remains in the laying area seems to lead to more advanced cannabilism - some of the older/more dominant hens will peck at eggs if they sense (smell?) egg remains. Had a problem with that last month that seems to have cleared up with fresh straw.
