This is the record of how many eggs my trio of backyard hens has produced since I acquired them in May 2008. As a rule, three hens should lay two eggs every day on average. In reality, this will vary according to how many hours of daylight there are, with less in winter and more in summer.

Note: in late August, I lost one hen to predators. For the two left, one egg a day is the expected average.
