The hens are laying everyday! We are getting at least a dozen eggs a day (gotta stay up on the egg washing). Since we can only eat so many eggs a day (we do our best) our friends and family get sent home on a regular basis with eggs in boxes, yogurt containers and what ever other container we can find. It is incredibly satisfying to throw kitchen/cheese scraps/grain/alfalfa duff/weeds to the chickens each day and in return get back wonderful eggs.
