Keeping up with the egg production

On Feb. 20 I started keeping track of the egg production, just because I could. That first week they laid 36 eggs...not bad for 6 little hens. The second week I started not only keeping count of the number but also the color of eggs.



Our chickens are pets, with benefits

 Week two saw 30 eggs- 16 brown, 14 green
Week three there were 18 green eggs and 17 brown eggs (first time the green outnumbered the brown)

This is week four and this week there is an interesting pattern:
Day 1: 3 brown, 1 green
Day 2: 2 brown, 3 green
Day 3: 3 brown, 2 green
Day 4: 2 brown, 3 green
Day 5: 3 brown, 2 green

Will they stick with the pattern for the next 2 days? We'll see!

UPDATE 3/19/11:

Day 6: 2 brown, 2 green
Day 7: 3 brown, 2 green

The comets have maintained their laying schedule for 7 days, which is pretty impressive. And to be fair the others were only out of sync 2 of 7 days. The week 4 total is 18 brown, 15 green.
