Lots Of Fresh Eggs

[BGKYSmoker]

Our hens are putting out lots of butt nuggets. So many that our neighbors are stocked up.

These I got today.

Over the week.

Thats awesome but I need a moment to process..... "butt nuggets" Almost choked on my coke zero...

Our hens slowed down a bit need to get the light in the coop since the daylight is less now.

I'm thinking cold smoke some and make deviled eggs... Charge a little preperation fee to your neighbors ...

That’s awesome! Our 4 ladies give us 3 eggs/day. More than enough for us and some friends. That much bounty would be a challenge.

No farmer's market to unload those cackle berries?

How many hens are you up to Rick? We have some young hens that we got the first 2 eggs from today so won't be long for them to get it going there's 9 or 10 of them. The older ones are giving us 10-15 a day. We got into having all kinds of different colors of eggs and most of the hens that lay the blue, green, dark brown, etc don't lay as many eggs a year as the more common tan/light brown hens do. We got 3 white leghorns that should lay a lot of white eggs, more easter eggers which produce decent but not like some breeds, don't remember what the other ones are

Nice. I found a guy couple weeks ago. Got four dozen yesterday. Been looking through your threads for something to do with them. Think try that pickled one you have.

We have 14 hens, no roosters.
Going to add 4 easter hens and 2 bantams in Dec.

I was selling at Rineyville farmers mkt but they are done until April, so I just sell from the sign I posted down by the road or just give to neighbors when they need.

WOW! Wish I lived closer. I'd be buying 'em from you!

I would love to have a few chickens, cause I eat eggs every day. Grits & eggs for breakfast for years!

Man I wish I had a neighbor that raised fresh non-factory eggs.

I would gleefully pay $10 a dozen for some fresh, natural eggs with firm plump almost orange yolks and whites that do not run across a pan like they are water.

I envy you, sir - in a positive way!

The hens are liking the fermented scratch. I feed them this at night and the lay pellets in the morning.

Todays catch of eggs.

Yeah, eggs are getting kind of pricy, and I eats lots of 'em! Can yardbirds take heat? I think of getting a few, just hoping they get big enough to lay before Bob gets to 'em, gets REAL hot here! RAY

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Temperatures exceeding 90°F can cause your hens discomfort. Any hotter and there’s a risk of heat stroke or other heat-related complications. Signs a chicken is too hot are labored panting, staggering, and little to no eating. The ideal temperature for chickens and egg-laying is between 65-75ºF

 

[sawhorseray]

Well hell, that scraps that idea!
