One of my most favorite times of the year is when I get my chick list. The feed store puts out a list of the chicks they are ordering and when they’ll be in. Might not be thrilling to everyone, but I love to see what new breeds I could add to my flock. It hangs on the refrigerator while I do my research, then the appropriate information is entered on my calender.
Meanwhile inside the refrigerator -
The 14 chickens we have already are laying about 9 eggs a day. This is just the overflow - I have a different spot for our usual supply.
9 eggs a day?! That sure is a lot of egg salad, souffles, fritattas, quiches…
Scott collected 11 after I wrote this - The hens are in spring super-productive mode. And yes - we eat a lot of egg-based meals this time of year but anyone I come in contact with is likely to walk away with a dozen or so also!
I’m so jealous. When I’ve visited friends who kept chickens that were allowed to go around the way chickens were meant to, the eggs were incredibly delicious. Comparing them to the standard supermarket eggs would be like comparing Guinness to Bud Light.
This has nothing to do with chickens…..but I have a knitting question. Could you please e-mail me when you have a second? Let me know if you need my e-mail address.
Thank you!!!!
