No eggs today


For the first time since the gals started laying regularly, we've had a day with no eggs. I'm hoping this is just a coincidence and not a sign that the flock is getting sick or suffering from the cold. My concern is that we've lost three hens in the past 6 weeks, which seems a lot considering our last loss was an immature hen back in June. Worra, worra, worra!

  1. An update -- we found two eggs, but they weren't in the nesting box. I've been trying to figure out why the sudden change. Will keep you posted.
