Collect a Dozen Eggs - PEP BB animal.sand.collecteggs

I would like to introduce you to  Colonel, Lane, Xeno, the Twins, Popeye. These beautiful ladies are my sister's chickens. They are free range in her fenced backyard and thankfully prefer laying in their nesting boxes. I collected 20 eggs over 4 days.

My family and I are currently living with my father-in-law, who has two hens. They typically lay a total of two eggs per day (as pictured below). I am most often the person who collects the eggs at the end of each day. We are very thankful for these hens and the eggs they provide for us, and we look forward to having chickens of our own in the future.

Hello!
Popping in to post some historical evidence. These photos are from September 2020.

At the time, I had 25 hens, raised from chicks purchased at our local feed store. Some of them had just started laying.
I collected several days worth of eggs from, I'm guessing, less than 6 different birds.

Happy collecting to everyone!
Reminder, spring is a great time to preserve eggs for winter

These are my chickens =)  I live in an area where Eagles are a problem, so I train my chickens to come into the shed with me so I can lock them up when the new fledgling eagles are out.  Unfortunately, that means my chickens usually come running when I come out.  So I got a picture of a girl in the nest at night.  As well as a picture of them following me into the shed =)  This made getting a picture of one IN a box hard - I don't keep broody birds because I want eggs.  I don't have a rooster anymore, so I get chicks from friends who do and then brood them inside for several weeks so they are friendly.  We eat mean birds.  I get 5-9 eggs a day, so the 14 eggs pictured were two days worth.

We have 12 Isa Brown chickens, so we get about 12 eggs a day. We used to have Rhode Island Reds, but the Isa Browns seem to lay better, they don’t seem to take much of a break!

These eggs come from my ducks 😋  they live in my backyard. I let them out all day, and they are only stuck in their pen for the nighttime.
