    as for up to my ears in eggs, Luckily I have a few people at work purchasing a few dozen each week. And the ones my mother in-law doesn't get either feed me and the kids or end up getting pickled.

    14 red sex links and 3 black sex links. the 3 black sex links are larger than the red ones, older maybe or is that a trait for them? they do control the upper roost in the coop :)
