What a mess!

They got it cleaned up, but wherever they were supposed to be delivered to won't have them.

I just found out this morning that an egg truck crashed into another truck and thousands of scrambled egg's were on the I-40 up by Flagstaff Arizona 2 day's ago. Right before Easter too.

My poor Phoenix rooster King just got knocked out of his top position as head rooster. He is currently inside being babied. The other roosters from his coop won't stop chasing him, the little shirts. Will be getting help to get my other two coops fixed up to get the other roosters split out from his coop now.

we'll see
Na, when I've fed eggs to animals it's been ones too dirty to hatch or eat myself.
I've always got girls penned together without boys that I'm not using for breeding at any given time. Those are the eggs I eat or give away. It's not worth the effort to sell white eggs here. People want "farm fresh" and too many think that means brown eggs.
Even giving them away is time and effort that I think would be more wisely spent cutting feed costs at this time.

I agree on that. We give so many eggs away and we should really be selling more to cover feed costs. I sold 2 more turkey hens yesterday so still actively thinning and will thin a few more turkeys soon.

It's weird to me because it's mostly rural here. Even the towns around allow chickens. I could maybe understand if i headed closer to KC in the suburbs but country folk ought to know.
They sell eggs at the auction I used to take roosters to. I tried eggs twice. Brown eggs were selling for $2.50 - $3.00. My white ones the auctioneer had to push to sell for $1. That wasn't worth it. Especially when I had to supply cartons.

Maybe I should leave the blue egg gene in the Crele project line then. We are steadily increasing our numbers of white egg layers. Most of our eggs we give away to friends and people we work with, so beggars can't be choosers. We can give away the white ones and sell the blue, brown, and green eggs I guess.
