Strange weather has been happening lately. We got 3" of snow this morning, but heavy winds, thunder, lightning and hail have also been present. It is shaping up to be a wild spring again this year. Ahh, how I long for a sense of normalcy. I am kind of glad though about the weather as it is keeping me in doors. I think if it were nice outside I would be very tempted to do work in the garden. I however can't because of my injured shoulder, still it doesn't stop me from wishing.
Weather problems aside our chickens are doing splendidly! I did an egg tally because I haven't done one yet. Since our girls started laying the day after Christmas we have received 198 eggs.

That is 16.5 dozen! I have 3 full dozen in the fridge, I need to hit up the neighbors and see if they want any. As the light shifts we are getting pretty consistently 3 eggs a day at the very least 2 eggs. I told those girls to start churning out the eggs and they have delivered!
Hi Guys, love what you're doing.

I think it might be time to start your own egg business at the farmer's market.
ReplyDeleteHow many hens do you have? I missed your early announcement of them. I have a friend in Florida who has 4 hens and she gets at least 3 eggs a day. Chickens are really cool and nonchalant. I love your raised bed layout on FaceBook
ReplyDeleteWe have three hens. We ordered 4 but one turned out to be a rooster... so he went to the local farmer and became dinner. Our girls are awesomely stupid but totally funny!
