Eggs Up!

I would be remiss in not mentioning that egg production is way up: the 50 Buff Orphington chicks I brooded last fall are in full production, and they seem to have inspired my older hens to get with the program! I have something around 280 chickens right now, and am getting an average of 9 dozen eggs a day out of them. Given the crazy weather we've had - up and down in temperature, wet and mucky, and now cold and frosty, this kind of production is unheard of. So hats off to my hens!
