The wind is blowing hard and the gusts are worse so I didn't start processing today. Tomorrows weather is suppose to be be a lot better. Let's hope so because we have a noon luncheon where a weatherman will be the speaker......

Small breeze here often but calm today.
Best egg customer may have a dozen eggs soon.
Birds that have molted are coming back to lay finally.

At least they give you something during the year, I have an egg eater that has her own stall/coop. I've gotten 1 egg from her because I happened to be there when she laid it. She gets room and board and gives nothing in return.

Roll away nest box.

Good Evening!

It’s a beautiful day here on the prairie! Sunny and mid-60’s. It got dry enough this afternoon that DH was able to get out in the field.

I used to say "good night girls, thanks for the eggs" as I left the coop shed.
Now I say "good night girls, thanks for nothing"

I have one hen who is still laying, but only about every other day. 4 eggs a week. One of the pullets looks like she could lay any day now. Her wattles and comb are red, she's peeked into the nest box, but I haven't seen her there yet. And there aren't any eggs in out of the way places. I've been looking...

Already?!? Are you using supplemental lighting?

I have one hen who is still laying, but only about every other day.

I had one, until about a week or so ago when she went broody. SMH.
Then again I think the reason she was still laying may have been that she went broody back in aug too.

My serial broody was done in August. She usually gets back to work in under a week. Still waiting, Miss Widget! And you're not really even molting like the other hens!

Roll away nest box.

I have two of them. One hen learned to go underneath it an peck an egg from the bottom. Hens need a wire partition to keep them from going underneath the roll out nest boxes. That's my solution anyway.

Good morning Café. Coffee is ready.
Back to work.

I think I made a mistake. For some crazy reason I'm up before daylight.
