How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[mixedbreeds]

Frostbitten here so dang cold this am below 20 not use to those temps but have wool long under ware and flannel lined jeans need to go to the feed store chicken food for the month and dog food

Sounds like me full set of wool long underwear insulated pants heavy wool shirt wool coat insulated hat with ear flaps and wool gloves and socks oh and about a 6” beard. I get all my eggs sold at 7 days if I wait any longer I have eggs everywhere.

Gosh because I have the little fridge for them I can stop fertility but also keep them at least three weeks or a month I have but have never had any come back bad

See here we don't refrigerate eggs in Europe so mine are in our non centrally heated house (we have 2 wood burners)

I sell mine within a week, oldest within 10 days.

That is what I'm thinking and doing (only been selling a couple of weeks now - putting the money in the front zip of my purse and so nice to buy thier food with 'thier' money )

We don’t refrigerate ours eggs neither, reason we want it out of our home ASAP. The dirty ones (very rare) we wash and refrigerate and get consumed right away.

Most of our friends pay us digitally (VENMO) and goes to a Master Card (chicken debit card) to only used for their feeds, beddings, treats, new chicks, coop repair, & egg cartons. So far the chickens pay for their coop rent too.

We got “force” to add layers every year since friends keep on pressuring us for eggs LOL. So far I’ve hatched 60 chicks last year and sold them for $15.00 each and kept some out of them.

We also live in a small town with many backyard chicken owners. Four years ago we had a summer picnic and had 50+ guests. A few of them found out we had chickens thinking the coop was a green house/garden shed. I gave them a “tour” of the coop and schooled them on breeds of chicken and told them about health benefits of backyard eggs, 8 of those families became our weekly egg customers and their friends found out too. So the demand was actually bigger than I can supply, we randomly sell some to those on waiting lists when regulars can take them.

You laughing at me fowl guy? LOL, I’m from a big city (city folk) moved to a small town just few years ago to raise kids.

My wife just came home from work today and told me her co worker wants 3 dozens tomorrow and I only have 22 eggs from today, i told her I can’t squeeze more eggs from my hens, but @$4.00/doz I charge? They should buy them from my neighbor @2.50/doz.
