2 green (2S), 7 brown (5S,2L) + 1 brown cannibalized (1L)
3 day total: 6 green (5S,1L), 18 brown (11S,7L)
7 day total: 14 green (11S,3L), 43 brown (33S,10L)

Looks like close to full production -
Here's what I wrote on January 9 about production:
Full Production (should happen March/April time frame):
6 small brown layers - 36 hour cycle -> 24 eggs/6 days
2 medium brown layers - 36 hour cycle -> 8 eggs/6 days (lump with small - 33 in a week)
4 large brown layers - ?? cycle - 48 hours? 12 eggs/6 days (10 in a week)

3 small green layers - 36 hour cycle -> 12 eggs/6 days
1 large green layer ??

Should be on the order of 44 brown eggs and 12 green eggs per week. call it 5 dozen eggs per week.
