    !!!!their Missing!!!!! Please Tell Me Their Ok! UPDATE. Their Back!!!

    Periodically we have hens that go AWOL. I do a beak count every night and they always seem to pick the dreariest, coldest, most inclement weather possible to "forget" to go to bed.

    Who had to BUY eggs this week? mad mad mad....

    Quote: I had to buy a couple of dozen for the same reason. Then had to hard boil some of "OUR" eggs and show the kids how difficult it is to peel super fresh eggs compared to peeling the elderly store bought eggs.
