You need some young pullets. Those are the only ones laying here. I expect them to stop soon for winter.
How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

I do! I’m planning on redoing my coop and expanding a bit so I can get some more girls. Who knows when that’ll happened though… lol.

7 today, 8 yesterday and 9 the day before that :O
One of my girls is laying a blue so pale it's almost white and I am just in love.
a very pastel day today
the hen, Jane, who loves to mount other hens just like a rooster would, is ALSO, weirdly, a hen who looooovvvveeess to sit a nest for HOURS. She will sit and make velociraptor noises at anyone (except me!) who comes close.
This morning, Dora was anxiously needing to get on a nest but Jane was up there and making her dinosaur noises. Dora didn't want to get on the bad side of Jane, no way! So she was just antsy in the hen house while I was cleaning the poop boards.
So, since I'm the "rooster" (hens see the people as the rooster if there isn't one) I coo'd and talked to Dora gently and went to the other nests and showed her it was ok and they were safe, too.
To my utter delight and surprise, it worked! She hopped right up to the nest I showed her and she settled down.
Jane didn't make a peep while I was over there, either. Haha that Jane is a whole mess. What an attitude she's got! Such fun

2 today, plus there was a thin shell egg in the nest that had broken, with the contents eaten. I gave the girls egg shells and oyster granules to get their calcium levels up.

1 today from Juin.
Still found blood in the droppings under the roost bar this morning. Turns out it’s both Août and my Splash Marans pullet Helmikuu. The vet is open tomorrow, so we’re definitely getting the fecal float test done asap.

I hope it is nothing bad!
There was an egg song this morning. 2/2 today, none yesterday.
My third hen stepped out of the coop today for the first time since she started her hard molt and one pullet now has a really red comb, so I might need to count eggs out of 3 or 4 soon-ish.
