Chickens and Eggs

Golden Comet The egg route has been a huge success, so much so that I had to ask the Reporter to pull the ad I've been running. We're selling about 30 dozen eggs a week now, and I was only getting about 12 dozen out of my girls. I was buying the rest from neighbors I trust, but the time was now to purchase some new birds of our own. I got 30 Golden Comet pullets last Sunday from a dealer in Muncie.

I say pullets but these are mostly yearling hens: last years pullets. And do these girls lay eggs! They're not the prettiest brown color I've ever seen, but the quality of taste and the sheer quantity makes up for it! We now own 76 laying hens, and are on track to produce 34 dozen a week. And that's in the winter: I wonder if we'll be swimming in yolks by the time July gets here!
