I’m feeling the need for another guessing contest! I used one of the Adventurous Makers Calendar to record the number of eggs that my family’s chickens lay in 2017. I not only wanted to know how many eggs we got from our hens, but I needed to create some farm records for the accountant.
Our flock of chickens varied in size during the year, but we have a core group of 60 laying hens. These hens began laying their first eggs in March and the daily production has varied throughout the year as the hens settled into their cycles.
Pull out your thinking caps and start crunching numbers! When you have your guess ready, simply comment on this post with your guesstimate.
Submit your guess and the closest guesses will get a box of goodies! This contest is open to everyone, but you must be an existing TheSage customer to get the box of goodies! On January 7th, we’ll announce how many eggs that my hens laid and the closest winning guesses.
Guess away!
8,400?
My guess is 11,692 eggs. That’s a lot of omelettes!
I always thought it would be fun to have a flick of chickens. I will have to guess 8296.
18,500! Said the city girl who’s mildly afraid of chickens, lol.
I will guess 14,500 eggs.
My guess is 10,500. I’ve never counted eggs for the whole year, maybe I’ll start! I should start tracking gallons of milk also.
12000
I think just under 16,000… so I’ll say 15,800
We had chickens throughout my childhood, and I can’t say I miss the chickens, we had some pretty mean ones, but I do miss always having fresh eggs around!!
My guess for your number of eggs is 13,871.
15,725 eggs enough for a huge omelette, some freeze dried eggs, egg soap, crepes, french toast and all sorts of divine things! I’m certain this is a high number, as the chickens don’t seem to lay as much in the cold months, but our chickens did quite well even in winter. 🙂
9,201 OMG some of these guesses has me wondering now!!
I’m reading this after the deadline so I can’t guess, but I am really curious to know what the answer is!!
Go ahead and guess! Andee hasn’t had two minutes to rub together and she is behind. There are 2 contests! Put in your vote!
