Maybe it was putting fresh pine shavings in the nest box before work, or the additional 30 sq ft of space they have during the day... It could be that Geneva & Helen heard me talking about chicken soup, or I guess that the girls wanted to give me an early birthday present (tomorrow is my birthday).Well, today, Sept 3rd, was the first SIX EGG DAY!! Finally, they met their production quota! Woot! Woot!! Thank you Geneva, Helen, Gladys, Janie, Percy, and Dixie Chick.
Today on the Organic Chickens Yahoo Group listserv I saw that there is a person who has Ameracaunas for sale near Asheville. Hmmm. that would be cool. Ameracaunas lay blue-green eggs. Maybe I should give her a call. What's another hen or two?
Happy birthday to you,Happy brithday to you,Happy birhtday Happy birthday Happy birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteNice addition to the hen house and go for it get more chickens!!!
You should find a few cake shops there in Charleston to see if they could take some of them. I think they prefer fresh eggs like yours - and you might make a little scratch on the side. :)
