3 green, 3 brown + 1 brown cannibalized
bought 50# lay pellets, 5# flax seed $18.84
33 days for lay pellets, 29 days for scratch.

I began using non feline rodent control, 15 dead rats during this time period, which explains the lower feed consumption.

Also worth noting - cannibalized eggs may be due to Steller's Jays - the last two eggs have been pecked and partially eaten. Chickens tend to eat the entire egg.

3 day total: 7 green, 11 brown
7 day total: 14 green, 31 brown
21 day total: 41 green, 98 brown

total eggs : 6,6,6,5,9,6,7,6,5,9,6,9,8,5,9,6,7,5,6,5,7
green eggs : 2,1,1,1,3,0,3,2,2,3,1,2,3,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,3
brown eggs : 4,5,5,4,6,6,4,4,3,6,5,7,5,3,7,5,5,3,4,3,4
