For the entire first year, I counted, noted specifics and *weighed* every single egg I got. (Can you say "nerd"?)<br />I have not regretted doing this for ONE SECOND - to this day, I look back on information gathered from earlier years and can tell you, for example, the precise start and stop days that my one, lone white-egg-layer laid her eggs (she takes annual sabbaticals, you see, lol)<br />Anyway, welcome to the very select, highly specific NERD CLUB. We always need new members.<br />Love how you detail some of the specifics!<br />:-)Dannihttp://www.critterfarmgirl.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090907568893124937.post-53078384290773080742011-08-14T13:40:11.629-07:002011-08-14T13:40:11.629-07:00This is hysterical because I also keep an egg log,...This is hysterical because I also keep an egg log, just in my dayplanner. I've not kept up with the daily count, but I do record when we find more eggs than usual and the days of our first egg finds.<br /><br />Man, yesterday, Deputy Dave found a WHOPPER of an egg. I took pictures and will post it this week. I could not believe how HUGE this egg was and we both pitied the gal that laid that monster. I took a picture of it laying next to the other eggs we'd gathered from the coop and it was amazing. They seem to be getting bigger and bigger. But, I never imagined they'd get as big as that one.<br /><br />Anyway, excellent job with the egg journal...I found the gaps to be near identical with our own. Now we're finding up to 3-4 eggs in a day, at times. For about a week, I don't think we've passed a day without finding a couple of eggs.<br /><br />Delicious awesome treasues!Lana from Farm Life Lessonshttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090907568893124937.post-17043978908950333862011-08-12T20:06:07.821-07:002011-08-12T20:06:07.821-07:00Paula, have you decided where to get your new girl...Paula, have you decided where to get your new girls?
