I must be doing something wrong. They don't love me any more.

11 eggs again today. I guess with it going "8, 12, 12, 10, 8..." before, 11 several days in a row isn't too disappointing. I wonder if all 13 brown layers are laying now. I should check them.
The weather varies here. One report is saying I might get like 4" total. The other has gone from less than an inch to about 1.5". Just enough to be cold and annoying.

I got one egg this morning, and have to go back out soon, with a flashlight... to collect whatever else they produced soon, I took a major nap this afternoon, 1. because I needed it... and 2. because I plan to get up at 3-4 in the morning to start plowing. I just had supper and watched the news, they've reduced the snow to 7"-15" accumulation, and it's supposed to end a few hours sooner tomorrow morning. so good... "Mail Count" starts tomorrow, we had one in September, so not all routes "have" to be counted, lots of large routes had the ability to "opt out" which most did... my route is small, or "auxilliary" so all aux routes, and highway contract routes, and vacant routes have to be counted. we have a highway contractor in my office, his route encompasses the edges of 5 towns, all the out of the way boxes for the regular carriers... I've done his route for him many times, it's fun... but I imagine, quite the pain in the neck to count...

I have the one egg from this morning, should be fertile, and it's small, one of Wilma's... I'm so tempted to stick it under Peach. she is still brooding, but has not laid an egg for maybe a week now... can't really remember if it's over 5 days. she's pretty well healed, new feathers are just now starting to sprout, she looks quite ratty... I could really use her crate for the chicks, and I would love to put her back out in the dome after the storm clears, the weather is supposed to improve... she would be fine with her apron as protection... just don't know what to do with her broodiness... eh... I have a few days to think it over...

I so wish one of mine would go broody. I am pushing it, though. The oldest is still under a year. The others are not quite 7 months.
Anyhoot, I had nine today. Might be some more laid later, but the snow was accumulating in the coop, and I so did not want to go out again!
