Maybe a county run FB, but a local Women's Shelter or church FB are always so grateful here for fresh healthy eggs and veggies.We have 3 hens (reds/whites (all pullets) and one Leghorn rooster that we bought at the Fair Auction. On a good day we get 4-5 eggs, but lately due to the Florida heat its reduced to 2-3 eggs. Last Easter we breed our Dominique Chicken (Fair Auction purchase) and got 12 babies. Coons got the parents and 4 of the hatchings overnight, but we have 6 hens/4 roosters survived. So, now that they're almost a year old the eggs should begin to stack up.
I appreciate the food bank idea. We give eggs to friends, neighbors, and family, but at peak laying its more than we can handle. Are there any special requirements in donating fresh eggs to the Food Bank?
