A Dozen Eggs????

What does one do with a dozen eggs a day? I’ve waited 5 months for those sweet cute little chicks I purchased in May to start laying. And now they are, at least 12 of them. So now what to do when all 26 start to lay. Does anyone want some farm fresh eggs out there???

The old adage is be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Well I have eggs for sure. How many ways can one actually fix an egg? That will be my next research project.

What is amazing is that these stupid animals, and chickens really are, just start laying and know that the nest box I made for them is where they are suppose to lay their eggs. And they share their nest that amazes me that they will allow another hen to lay their egg right along with theirs.

The other day it was pretty funny. Two hens were trying to lay in the same nest box. Mind you there were three empty ones right next to this one. But they wanted the same one, sounds like kids doesn’t it.

Well it is time to head out to the hen house and find more eggs. Again, what does one do with a dozen eggs a day?
