December 27

 

Production started before the solstice - I collected 3 white eggs on December 20, and an egg every other day since then. On December 24 I collected first green egg; have been getting a white and a green since then.

I've collected 8 white eggs and 3 green eggs so far. My guess is December 17 for first one.

The pre-Solstice production was quite a surprise. I should get back to recording production. I suspect the other white layer and the other green layers will be coming on early in 2025.

Depending on my travel in 2025 I may get chicks. Flock will be 5 years old or more this summer,  getting 3 kinds of brown layers (5 total), 2 white layers, and 2 green layers, plus meat birds to get to minimum shipment.

2 roosters will be slaughtered this spring if it looks like I am doing a chick order.

I should build a new (redwood) coop with automatic door before any order.
