How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

And I have so many scratches from the thorns on the tree that are stinging too.

Lime trees have thorns??

My sister in So Cal sent me a box of lemons from her tree for my birthday in March. We used some and made frozen lemon cubes with the rest.

Eggs? What are eggs??? Though some of the pullets have pretty big fluffy butts so maybe they will start. Daisy has had red comb and wattles for over a month but no eggs near as I can tell. If she's laying she is hiding them somewhere. I sure hope not.

Not so much creative as forced to use what molds I have. But I do think it’s cute! I wouldn’t have thought to use the chocolate molds if I had ice cube trays. It’s just taking forever cause I only have a few molds and a whole lot of juice and of course it takes all day to freeze.

10 eggs today laid - but 2 leghorn eggs were broken in 2 of the nest boxes. I took the opportunity to clean all 4 out. The 2 leghorn eggs that survived have nice shells. Supports my thought it’s more of a hen issue than a feed/raw calcium issue. And of course the other hens all have great shells.

I may actually sell eggs for the first time ever this weekend to a neighbor! I’m pricing them on the low side cause 1) she’s a neighbor and we barter as well and 2) she works and could be a source of future sales.

Both my lime and lemon trees have WICKED thorns. Long and sharp as hell. Maybe it’s just the varieties I have. I didn’t know they had thorns when I bought them. But they are very tasty. I looked at a fruit picker gadget - $45! Too pricy for my usage level. I’ll have to figure out a way to get the fruit cause I want to juice some of the lemons next. A lot of the fruit is in the interior of the tree. Hence the suckiness of those killer thorns.

Lunch time check i found 9 eggs. Most likely either no more today or 1-3 bantam eggs if they decide to lay later today

I got a few pumpkins for free at a local pumpkin patch!

I froze some bags of chunks for the hens to munch on over the coming months. A few will go to the cows. Rest into the compost bin to draw in the bugs.

Must be the variety, I grew up in So. Cal and I never saw a single thorn on a lemon or lime tree.
