Day is done. Sold 4 older hens and would have sold eggs IF I had any.

Glad it's done including your septic

Does anyone want to do my first load in the morning? I am still loading todays last load, and dispatch calls me with a load for tomorrow that requires rolling at 4.

My first thought was "clothes?" And then the plugs started firing.

 

[Wickedchicken6]

I want that station!!!!

Hey...no stealing.

That's always a nice surprise!

I just hope she saw it because she hasn't replied.

Not everyone cares about freshness and all natural here as much as getting something dirt cheap.
That is why people of the North retire here. The cost of living is low.
There is another big chain store here selling eggs for 49 cents a DZ.

Wow!
$0.49 for a doz eggs! Here that's the price for an egg carton! Heck, feed the cheap eggs to your flock & keep the cartons. LOL

I'm just very happy that I got a few new layers today. I actually had enough extra eggs to be able to sell a whole dozen. Whole Foods charges $6-9/doz for their pasture-raised eggs, so when I bring ours to school & ask $4, the parents fight over them.

Before owning chickens, I never really thought much about eggs. The cheap ones from the store were fine with me. Of course once you get used to fresh backyard eggs with golden yolks, going back to those pale things is miserable. It also ruins eating out for breakfast /brunch. Why pay for a meal when there are far better ingredients at home?

Lucky me! Woke up to a partially flooded basement. Something about the utility sink. Area rug soaked. Sink ran over for some reason; didn't leave the valve open.

Coffee's done; time to go see what's going on.
