I am able to collect eggs from my pair of hens, and my neighbors when they are not around and ask me to care for them. I originally had 6 full time layers, but because I thought I was moving, rehomed them. My neighbors let me have two to maintain my coop and get some egg production.

First BB submission, so hopefully I get this right.

I have 4 runner ducks. This is their second egg-producing season, and during the egg-producing season they make an average of about 3 eggs per day between the 4 of them, but they take a few months off from laying in the winter entirely. On a couple of rare days, they have made 5 eggs in a day, with one bonus egg coming in the evening.

If I let them out of their duck house before they have layed, they make duck-shaped indentations in the plants and mulch and lay in those

Ideally they lay in here, so it's not an egg hunt

Hi! Here are my landrace fowl, some Chantecler, a breed create here in Quebec by monks. I've only 7 now but some others are growing at a friends place.  I manage to sell some eggs to a friend this year.

I have 24 chickens. There are Americaunas, Buff Orpington, Black Australorpes, one French Cocoa Maran.  Then there are the mixes of these birds.  The papa is an Americauna rooster. Half of the flock was born on my land in the last six months. The younger generation is wiley and forages well.  There are some beautiful color variations in my chicks.

Hello. Just finished eating some yummy egg sandwiches for breakfast

We have around 30 hens on our farm we have had them for a while and enjoy their fruits of their labor.

Ps: two of them were double yolks.

We have around thirty chickens. Road Isl. Red, australorps, and buff orpingtons. They just started to give us eggs last month(ish) and we are getting eight to thirteen eggs each morning. We are looking forward to when they really start laying! We are trying to feed our dogs with eggs, broth, meat, and a little kelp, so having lots of eggs is something we look forward to.
The hens laid thirteen eggs this morning, the good girls!

I've go 14 chickens, 6 ducks and 3 turkeys. Only chickens laying right now. I think we might have went overboard on chickens as you can tell from the last picture, but surely Thanksgiving will use them all.
