I am so excited that two of my nine new hens are laying daily. You would have thought it was Christmas early, I am so happy to eat my morning omelet with eggs from my hens and herbed goat cheese inside. It's truly the little things in life! On a side note, my youngest son 18 who still lives at home won't eat the eggs from my chickens, he loves eggs but says he cant eat the children of the hens he knows. Weird kid!!
Congratulations on your eggs!! How nice it must be to have fresh eggs every morning! Kids at that age are weird no matter what. The good thing about it is that they return to normal around the age of 23! so all you have to do is just wait it out! lol Your hen in the photo is quite pretty and nice and plump! (like me) Hope you have a great Thanksgiving! You can make Deviled Eggs!!...debbie
ReplyDeleteCongrats Laura! We've only been getting 3-4 eggs a day, but....... we have 32 hens! This is the norm in winter for us, we choose to let them have the winter off and don't run a light, this is one reason why we still have 7-8 yr old hens laying. They need a break just as we do from gardening, LOL! Our egg customers know that by end of Oct. they'll be buying eggs elsewhere, because the few we get are used for our needs.
ReplyDeleteHave a Blessed Thanksgiving, it will be unusually quiet here, just Dh, Dd and myself.

Oh, I so want chickens but my DH doesn't. I'm still working on him -as are the children- mine would gladly eat eggs from our own chickens.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving!

Now that's funny about your son. My oldest, who is 21, won't eat any eggs that DON'T come from his mama's chickens! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all your eggs - it's like getting presents every day, isn't it?!
We're getting between 7 and 10 a day from 12 hens. We are running a light but these hens are bound for the freezer come fall when the next batch are ready to go. They just started laying in September.
