Got a market in the morning, will take 9 doz. Getting 6 a day from the babies. Half of them are already laying sz 6's.
I thought I might make a bunch of bacon n egg pies an some quiches, have to buy a bigger fridge soon or give them all butt plugs
I tried selling the pullet eggs at the market but no one wants them. Can't even give them away... I've got 8 dozen in the fridge plus 12 fertilized from mumma hen
An I here I was thinking I needed to rethink some of mine, I've got, Teeny, (pure white) Tiny, Daisy, Cinder(ella), Cara(mel) @15 1/2 wk, + 2 wks older, Goldie an Mira(cle) - she hatched upside down and mum Jess an dad Rhodey, and a 11wk crippled child inside named Indē-Lena (independent-leaner)...

A friend has a hen that eats them, and she made a new box that has a sort of roll away part where the egg goes into but the hens can't get to them. She's had none eaten by the girls for nearly a year

I still can't remember what that time was, but there were 2 bum pops...
1 from mum of 7 pullets, 2 of which just turned 18wks old, now laying daily, 4 from their 5 *15 1/2 wk old sisters..
My babies started laying at 14wks old :)
Nearly time to start selling eggs :-)
None from the old girls, time for retirement.

Before reading this a couple of months ago now, I lost a Lot of eggs.. but since reading, I've managed to save most that made it to day 21.. to make sure I got it right, I read your article 4 times. I'm so pleased that I did because I've got some cute bundles that are growing fast.
Now, when it...
I will, the blood line is really clear, I just have to get them more used to being held. The bigger 2 hate it, the littlies have been handled since hatch. My electric rotary tool is too loud, and my portable one is jammed with a diamond burr. I'll see if they want to attack an emery board, if it...
