    How many Eggs did you Sell today?

    All we get. We'll use four a day on average and the other 15 or so go into cartons that I take in to work with me. Teresa has one lady at her work who buys them. But I swear when I come up to the building where I work with my Trader Joe's bag that I carry the eggs in someone lets out an...

    Well, I've not posted for the past couple of weeks but I'm still here and kicking. Just been too busy with the garden and all. The Gals have been great all spring long. The 22 BSL's and 4 guineas have been giving us lots of eggs. We're now getting two eggs each day from the guineas. I'm...

    How many Eggs did you Sell today?

    I sold 8 dozen today at work and Teresa took in 2 dozen to her work and sold those @ $3.00 a dozen. One guy called me from home where he was taking the day off and actually came in to the office to get his eggs. He made me promise that I'd save him a dozen. Not too hard this week because a...

    Anyone use SAND in the run/coop

    I put it in my garden. Generally I'll put it in an area I'm not going to plant this season and I'll let it cool off some. I took out a load recently and put it where I'm going to plant my fall garden this year. Specifically I'm going to plant a 4'x45' box of potatoes, collards, and lettuce...

    Anyone use SAND in the run/coop

    You want happy, happy, happy hens? Give 'em sand. Chickens need to have their sand baths every day. They sell a course sand here called 'Creek Sand'. I assume it's called that because they dredge it up out of the local creeks. Anyways, it's plentiful and cheap. I buy it at the local...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    20 again today from our 22 BSL's. It was a cold and windy day here in central NC. I wouldn't blame them for sitting inside the coop all day long trying to stay warm.

    Anyone use SAND in the run/coop

    CountryGirl, Really nice set up you have there. Lots of room for your Gals. Is that a couple of peafowl I see in there?

    Anyone use SAND in the run/coop

    LookyHere, This is pretty much what I've done. When I built the run and before I enclosed it I laid in about 2 inches of what they call Crush 'n Run which is just gravel and sand. And then I added another 2 inches of course creek sand to that and had the same results. Now the Gals have...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    21 today from our 22 BSL's. We've gotten 19 to 21 eggs each day for the past week or so from the Gals. These BSL's are even better layers than the previous flock of Golden Comets we had and they were great layers. Wow!

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    20 big brown ones from our 22 BSL's. There have been some really large eggs that came in the past few days. I've got at least 3 dozen eggs in the fridge that are all jumbo-sized eggs. I've gotten several that are extra jumbo but they go in my omelettes. They wouldn't fit in a carton anyways...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We've gotten 92 eggs from our 22 BSL's in the past 5 days which is I believe just a shade under an average of 19 per day. It's been up and down all week with the weather. One day it's nice and warm followed by cloudy and cold followed by wet and more wet. I'm so ready for spring to get here...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    19 today from our 22 BSL's. What a yucky day today was here in central NC. Cold, dreary, and rainy all day long. Some sleet was mixed in. Everywhere I look in my yard it a puddle and walking out in the yard really requires wearing my boots. I am so ready for some global warming we've been...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    18 today from our 22 BSL's. Nice day today. It was so nice that I went outside and planted three new pecan trees today. We have perking problems with our soil so I had to make the holes enormous for them. I dug them out at about 3' wide and down to 42". Hard work but it felt good. But now...
