Oh bummer, sorry to hear about your back! 😟 Hope you are back on your feet soon. So do you have suggestions for extra eggs? Do you get a lot more than you can use?
Not yet. In the past I have. I wound up putting them in a feed bowl and setting them on top of the coop. The Ravens appreciated some protein.

I will have quite a few Birds. Wellsummers, Sumatras, Guinea Fowl. Muscovy ducks and hopefully a pair of turkeys.

I have plans for blown eggs for art . Also I can buy already blown and sterilized eggs of a larger size. Ostrige, Emu, etc. If you blow out the egg from the shell you can use it for scrambled eggs or freeze them for recipes in Ice trays. I also have plans for errant feathers... LOL.

Wow its almost 2 AM. I need to be up at five.
