I have five RIR, and get almost 5 eggs every day. Occasionally there are 4 egg days. But my neighbor who has RIR says this is a bit unusual for them all to lay an egg every day. I let mine freerange for 1/2 the day, but my neighobor's are strictly caged. Maybe this is the difference? I got mine as day old chicks from the feed store in Pahoa about a year ago. They are extremely friendly and personable. They actually come running when I call, "Here chick, chick, chick." Aloha, Angela
