Happy New Year everyone!!
So since I've gotten no eggs from my girls for a month or more and I can't stand store eggs I've decided I'm going to the Lebanon/Annville Livestock Auction next week. I'm going early and getting eggs but I think I might look for a few young hens to add to my flock. Anyone been there and can offer any advice? It's either buy a new hen or two and trade someone wine for a laying hen. I'm getting desperate for some good tasting eggs!
Also, anyone have Cayuga ducks? My hubby told me this morning he would like to add them to our flock, so I'm going to start looking.
One more thing, best way/advice on shipping eggs? Someone from Texas contacted me about slate blue eggs but I've never bought or shipped eggs and it completely scares me.
This past fall I traded 4 pullets (barnyard mixes) for 2 quart jars of awesome honey. With the current price of raw honey I figured I made out pretty well on the trade and he was happy with the new girls.... win/win! Barter/trade works just fine for me!
