The other night 2 of the girls dropped eggs from their roost. One was completely broken. The other was cracked too much to use.
When I went into the coop yesterday I spotted the first complete egg! It is small but it is 100% intact! I put it on my handy dandy antique scale and it didn't even register enough to be able to be graded. I figure that it weighs about 3/4 of an ounce. With gold closing at 1187.20 an ounce that makes the eggs value in gold at around $890.00.
When you figure in the cost of the materials for the tractor. The fence chargers. The food. The actual 4' welded fence, chicken wire, and hardware cloth. My time and labor in getting everything set up for the chickens... It comes out to probably around $890.00. I am using fuzzy math so I can make that eggsaggeration.
It will make one very teeny tiny omelet.
