This year I have had to wait right up to the end of the year to do this post as Autumn has continued laying from the beginning of October right through December. I am putting this post out this morning as Autumn laid yesterday so I know she won’t lay today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salmon – 6 years old – laid none last year and none again this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sugar – 4 years old – laid 36 – in 8 months, March to October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dot – 3 years old – laid 118 – in 9 months, February to October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gold – 2 years old – laid 93 – in 8 months, January to August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Storm – 2 years old – laid 69 – in 7 months, February to August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cloud – 1 year old – laid 39 – in 4 months, June to September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mango – 1 year old – laid 32 in 5 months, June to October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Autumn – 9 months old – laid 37 in 3 months, October to December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The variance in some of the girls is due to broody periods causing breaks in laying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The total eggs for the year is – 424.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surprisingly enough this is very similar to last year (442) despite this being a slightly different flock to last year but despite losses and additions the flock has remained at 8 girls but with 7 laying as Salmon hasn’t laid for 2 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I always say every egg is a bonus so thank you girls for your lovely eggs. The most important thing to me is that girls stay happy and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I wish a Happy New Year to all my readers and your families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
