Kdwag, your girls look like they might lay any day now!
Natstk, I'll have to read that book. I'm trying to teach my kids some of the same things. During the summer, we set aside one day a week where we can only eat things we grew or produced ourselves. It was my 15 year old son's idea. It's only one day, but it's a start. My gardening focus now has turned to trying to grow a 4 season garden. I haven't been very successful so far. But at least I did manage to stock our freezer completely full this summer.
One of my EEs sat in the nesting box for 2 hours yesterday. I thought for sure she was laying an egg...but still no egg! I'm so infinitely jealous of you guys and your 6 and 7 egg days.
