Well, the chickies should hopefully be here next month if the incubation goes well... at least I have lots of eggs to put in the 'bator

It's crazy what city folk will pay for fresh, organic free-range eggs - I can't fulfill all my orders and have customers lined up and waiting!

DH said to me last night...

and I quote...

"Hunny we need more chickens"

My husband has said the same thing, but when I tell him that we need another coop and more run space to get more chickens he shuts up pretty quickly.

If you BUY egg cartons you are -$3 on a dozen not even counting the cost of the birds , feed , up keep etc anything less and ur better off just throwing them out for any less money.

I'm pretty sure my DH said something along the same lines when it came to egg production too......he seems to have forgotten though!!

No matter, I doubled my laying flock for this sping!

I'm also secretly hoping that my Buff Orp pullets will eventually go broody on me!
