We have 6 chickens that just started laying the first of the year.
Yesterday, I went in the coop and found them all working over an egg. All that was left was shell but it was still wet so I know it was fresh.
Any time we find an egg on the floor, it's dented like it's been pecked, but the membrane has never been broken. I think we have a hen that's laying on the floor and the other ones are taking a whack at it just because it doesn't belong on there.
We've been getting 4 to 5 eggs a day, yesterday was 6, so I know they are all laying. I don't think they are eating very many, but we'd never know, there isn't much evidence if you don't catch them in the act.
We are feeding complete feed & plenty of water, we have a dirt box in there for them to play in and a Flock Block for them to peck at. They have a chance to get out everyday but lately they just stand in the doorway b!tching about the snow (sounds familiar huh?).
We have enough eggs for the two of us so if they want to eat one once in awhile, so beit, it's all going to end up as nourishment for us eventually.
