How many times a day do you check for eggs?
Our take
I ask this because a woman at work said it was unusual that my chickens donāt lay their eggs all in the morning like hers do. I thought her comment was weird, itās not like you can train chickens to lay at certain times.
I go out to check for eggs about 2-3 times a day, because itās winter so any egg left behind could freeze over night. (And Iāve eaten the frozen eggs once they thaw but theyāre not good, and typically I donāt save them). So thatās why Iām checking the coop more than once so I can get to the eggs while their still good.
Also this photo is how many eggs I get each day. The ones in the cartoon are from the morning and the washed ones are from this afternoon.

- Two days of not collecting eggsthis is just one of my nesting boxes after 2 days of not collecting, they also have a spot beside the house that they like to go in and a couple of other random spots they will occasionally lay eggs in, so this isn't even all of them this is just this specific nesting box, although I feel like I need to get some sort of chicken that lays something besides brown and beige, maybe some white leghorns and some Easter Eggers LOL submitted by /u/Lunapixels18 [link] [comments]
- What times do you let your chickens out of the coop?I usually let my ladies out around 12:00 to 1:00 because I have some that lay later in the day, and they don't like to lay their eggs in the coop if they have another option so I'm leaving them in to make them lay their eggs where I want them, after that I let them out and they get to free range, the whole time they're in the coop they do have access to the run though, I open that up around 8:00 a.m. since none of them want to lay their eggs in the Run fortunately submitted by /u/Lunapixels18 [link] [comments]
