What did you do with your flock today?

[ChicksnMore]

I must be impatient at heart! Ironwood texted this morning, and just like that Mojo is off to a wonderful forever home with everything a pig could ask for. . A huge hug to Ironwood pig sanctuary here! I'll have to pester hubby into making donations to them. What a beautiful group of people.

I should have gotten a goodbye picture of him though ...but I'm happy

Help me decide!

I have 5 girls that are either already laying or about to lay and 4 chicks in the brooder. Which size countertop display should I get? One holds 2 dozen and the other holds 3 dozen. I eat 3 eggs per day, hubs will eat 4 a few times per week, and my kids probably consume 6 total per week. My in-laws will likely take a half/full dozen twice a month once they’re really producing. I can’t figure out if I’ll be sad I don’t have extra space or if it’ll be so empty with the larger one it’ll look silly.

I like using a pretty bowl ♡ that way, when I over give and sell and eat, as we always do, I can still look at my pretty bowl ♡

How do you make sure you’re eating the oldest first? I have a really pretty metal basket right now but I worry I’ll leave the bottom eggs too long

PS. With your list of folks who are going to enjoy your eggs, I think you need more chickens

I have a counter bowl and a fridge bowl. Fridge bowl is ours and I rotate my eggs in fridge bowl. Washed eggs, goofy looking eggs, imperfect eggs are ours.

Counter bowl is for sale and give.
Counter bowl makes it into egg cartons after it fills, automatically rotating. Then i write a date on carton. Trust me, your eggs wont last more than a week ♡

I guess I worry about adding on top each day…the bottom ones will stay stagnant.

I do love the basket I already have though…
