    Asking neighbors for grass clippings.

    Haha! I use scissors and cut my girls a couple pans of grass each day They don't free range due to too many hawk and other predators in our area. They love to see me coming with the pan!

    do you buy egg cartons?

    80 cents each seems like a lot for cartons. I have gotten plain ones on sale at our feed store for 0.25 each. I don't sell a lot of eggs, just have 6 hens and mostly give them away to family or friends when I have extra. But I have a few people who give me cartons and I always have plenty...

    Thoughts on Moulting (Molting) aka I'm not getting eggs!!

    Yep, my girls are on schedule. They are 19 months now & a couple started molting last month & all but one are now. Have 3 EE's & 3 RIR, went from 5-6 eggs/day to one if I'm lucky now. Poor things are not a pretty sight, but look forward to their new feathers. And a little nice to have a break...

    How do you sell your eggs?

    I really like your system briteday! It seems like it would work great. We just have six hens, but some weeks they are super productive & I can't possibly use them all. I have only given them away so far, but I did tell my two closest friends I would have to start charging, mostly because the...

    Confession: I'm an egg giving snob!

    My 6 girls started laying the end of August last year and with 3 of us we can't use all the eggs, they sometimes pile up. So I have been generous in giving them to some close friends and family. But when I mentioned to my Mom & sister that I might start charging, since my hubby & I have had...

    Giant Egg

    I had one of those!! It was very cool! And it was only the third day after my hens started laying...fortunately it didn't hurt her enough that she stopped I wasn't home to hear how much noise she made. I didn't think at the time to use a ruler, though I did get a pic if it in the carton & when...
