2 dozen today for $3.00/dz and I got two new customers at work who want eggs on a weekly basis. And people here at work are starting to ask about getting extra eggs for their holiday baking, etc. It's a good time to be a chicken wrangler!!!
Hey, and also we're taking the first of our honey from our beehive on Thursday. We have two medium supers on top of the hive that are maxed out. We're borrowing the local Beekeeping Association's extractor and we expect to get at least five gallons of pure gold from them. At deep discount of $8.00/quart we should get at least $160 from one hive. We can do this twice a year to boot!!! That's why we're building bee hive bodies this winter. By the end of next year we want to have 20 hives ringing our property. It should support that many because there are a lot of fields all around us that the bees will be able to feed from. There's also a lot of poplar tulip trees, sourwood, alfalfa, rape, corn, etc. everywhere.
