How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[HowIsItDone]

I don’t free range here, too many predators. They have the whole barn to roam in during the day, in good weather I let them out when I get home in their run and out in the yard in front of the barn.

In the winter the wimps don’t go outside unless there is no snow and it’s mild.

I joke I am going to need a bigger barn to house the breeds I want

Wimps: we had a good snow squall the past couple days - they got outside first time today since last weekend. The youngsters freaked out and kept trying to fly over the evil white stuff, I had to rescue half a dozen of them hahaha.

I shovelled the snow a bit for them and threw down some old bedding from the horses stalls. The chooks went out a bit but it started snowing again so they all came back in.

Got 10 eggs today.
Is this the start of a ‘bucket of chicken’?

I got 5 eggs yesterday and I can not tell which hens popped out 2 of the eggs, they are laying similar eggs now. I think they are trying to confuse me because they know I have an egg register that tell me who is the freeloader.

Got 5 but one is from a different day because I only have one white leghorn.

1 today, from Août

It’s finally a genial temperature out, but rainy. Hopefully that means more worms for the girls to find tomorrow!

9 yesterday again

I swear Chocolate lays nearly every day, and Toffee too.

Dang Hoover's Hatchery making some crazy production breeds out of their mixes. (They supply my local TSC) Before I knew, I don't think I would have got any -- hear tell they 'wear out' and die sooner than breeds that lay less. I love my girls man, I want them to have chill, happy lives.

This morning is donation day! So we collect 4 and a half dozen eggs right now a week, will be donating 4.

Not as much as I'd like, honestly -- but helping to feed 4 people a week I guess is pretty dang good.
