If I recall, last year seemed like a slow year for egg laying all around, as in the number of eggs gathered daily.
This year is already going better, for me anyway, and is similar to 2017 and 2018. So far, my 21 hens are laying about 8 eggs a day.
Keeping in mind I have ten 3 and 4 yr. old hens.
Just wondering how everyone else is experiencing this.

Re: Egg Production 2020
That bunch of loafers I got, still eat just as much, getting about 3 eggs a day from my 20. Nothin but a bunch of layabouts.

Re: Egg Production 2020
Anyone have an app for tracking egg production and costs of feeding the little buggers so they will keep making them

I use an Excel spreadsheet. That way, in the same document, I can also keep track of eggs sales.

KB - you mean you are getting 2 eggs a day from 3 pullets? Perhaps they are young and eager? heheKillerbunny wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 7:43 amThat app would be removed after the first few weeks! I don't want to know and anyway how do you calculate plaeasure LOL!

Most of my eggs are coming from my youngest hens.

Re: Egg Production 2020
I have 14 hens and they are laying like crazy ... between 7-9 per day ... must be the Lanark air lol. I also have 5 roosters and they don't fight ... is it because there are so many ... happy because I love my boys! I have a bielefelder, buff Cochin, black Cochin, lavender orpington and a barred rock ... they're huge! My hens are buff Cochin, partridge silkie, buff Wyandotte. Buff orpington. Not sure why I did all the buff. I love my chickens ... I have coffee with them every morning.
