Our Mixed Flock Journey!

9 eggs today! I think the whitish egg to the left of the speckled egg was laid by my girl that laid the shell less eggs...best guess, still not exactly sure which one !

This is how my egg holder used to look... filled with eggs and with even giving some away!

It will be full again...your girls just need a break! I'm sure my girls are going to slow down more on their egg production at least I hope they will for their sake! Which is why I'm trying to water glass some eggs!

I love your egg holder...where did you get it?

Yes.. hopefully my older gals will continue to lay.. at least somewhat...cuz if not then I’ll be down 6 layers! Well, down 5.. Claire doesn’t lay... maybe like 2 a year....

Thanks.. I got that from Amazon. It’s been great! With this one I can rotate the eggs easily.. to keep the oldest eggs up front.

You might have to add some more littles...

Thank you, I'm going to see if I can find one!

Good morning all! We finally cut down the sunflowers! The chickens and rabbits should enjoy these! We have a wheelbarrow full of flower heads...it will be interesting to see how many seeds we will actually wind up with...I'm pretty confident it won't be a wheelbarrow full... I'm probably going to plant more next year!

The critters should enjoy those!

Hey everyone...I hope you've had or are having a great day...depending where you are in the world!

I finally started my Water Glassing: Egg Preservation Experiment! I started a thread about it, but I will also share each taste test here! Hubby asked me to warn him before I feed any of these eggs to him...biggest chicken in the flock...

That is a nice egg holder! You'll have it full again come next year.

I haven't had a single egg in probably 3 weeks but my girls are getting up there (they turned 4 this year).
