Good morning all hope everyone is having a great week. This weather is having a mood around here 85 yesterday 55 tomorrow mother nature has a sense of humor.
Been doing some work on the coop and run, the girls don't know what to think. The other day I did not get the clean out door latched good and when I came back I found it open. The girls like the view, but found 3 eggs on the ground they fell almost 4 feet and where just fine. I was a bit amazed, one had even been moved up under the coop to a higher location. It just interesting to me the funny things they do sometimes.
With 9 hens we get more eggs then the wife and I need to eat in a week. Most of this summer we had 2 or 3 Doz in the fridge at a time. I started to offer them to family and friends, several would tell me we only get omaga-3 or organic eggs from the store or farmers market. Ok that fine, I gave a doz to my Pastor and some ladies at church, one admitted she not big on eggs but those are the best eggs she ever ate and asked if she could get 2 doz in Dec when her family comes to visit. Well the word must have gotten around for the first time I had to say no I don't have any eggs just so I could have some. I don't charge just ask for donation for up keep, Pastor gets his free. I am glad to share what I have and it a good feeling when someone realizes what an egg should taste like.
I had one that did that...I tried chasing him and pinning him down 4x to assert my dominance and he just ended up getting more stealth with his attacks. I couldn't allow the kids in the coop and one day he tore up my legs with his spurs and that was all she wrote.
