In the first quarter of the school year, we sold 14 hens and gave two away. This was done in an effort to reduce the size of the flock. On the opposite to this, we had two hatches in Q1. On August 25 we had 10 eggs hatch and on Oct 6 we had 7 hatches.
We had 10 eggs hatch the first week of school on Aug 25th. These chicks were moved out to the Hen coop in late September to make room for another hatching of chicks planned for early October.
In the month of September, we had a two-week stretch of our weather hitting 95 degrees. During that time chicken egg production went from around 22 eggs a day to 4 or 5 a day. Happy to say we are back to around 17 eggs a day.
