Last week I was getting 1 egg from one lonely Bantam Buff Brahma show hen and the other 15 pullets of various breeds weren't doing anything except eating feed. Then all of a sudden eggs have started to pop up everywhere. An old Easter Egger started laying 5 days ago as well as an Australorp pullet. Then today 2 of our 7 Partridge Chantecler pullets and a Wheaten Ameraucana pullet decided to start laying. Coldest day of the year in Southern Ontario and we had 6 eggs today. And what fun colours to find. Needless to say we had egg sandwiches for lunch.

That's great Cousineau!!! :banana: Nice coloured eggs too!!

My freeloaders just started laying out of the blue again, had nothing for over a month and a half. Out of 30 hens was only get maybe 1 egg a day. Most had a hard molt in November so I figured I would not have any for awhile. Started adding a few extra hours of light in the morning and evening and added some extra protein and the switch got turned on, now getting a least a dozen per day :yay:

Gorgeous eggs! I love going out to the barn and getting a pocketful. Unfortunately, I've got several girls laying, but I also have a pet pig running loose with them...and he hoovers most of the eggs before I get them!
