Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

[mortie]

I have four store bought eggs and four pity eggs left in the refrigerator and 6 pullets that are 18 weeks old tomorrow. Should I buy eggs or wait it out? This is a tough one. What to do?

oh mortie... can those 8 eggs possibly last 6 weeks...? if it were here, the answer would be no, although I would try bc I can't stomach store bought eggs... find more pity eggs to tide you over and hopefully they will start laying within the next 2 weeks...

off I go for another freakishly long day on the road with my twitchy eye (day 7). I'm so hungry already it's ridiculous. packing a huge bag of food and snacks.

we are done our new coop, DH took 3 nests from camper coop and put them in new one, last night we were talking and i told him we have so many nest in the camper so why not take the wood ones we made and move to new coop, he must have liked that idea as when i got up at 7 he already had them moved around, we have the large metal thing that has about 20 nest in it and last night i went out to close up and one of the chicks got between the window and the fan was yelling she could not find her way back out, they keep getting up on top of nest roof to sleep even tho it is slated. so he took the roof off to move it, guess he is going to leave it off, we are cleaning the yard up this past week, got small cage that we use for peeps out of his shop and on its side in garage, got shed i keep the hey in all cleaned up we are down to 2 bales of it, had 8 in there at one time, i used a lot in the new coop then cleaned out camper coop and put pine needles in both, smells like Christmas in there. we are trying to get more chickens to sleep in new pen, there are 6 that do but the rest i take over after dark hope as they see where they come out of in morning they will go in on own, we counted 48 last night.

Oh and we ate ALL the pity eggs and ALL the store bought eggs this morning between the 5 of us. Now we have ZERO eggs in the house.
