Helpful Visitors

Visitors to the farm are always willing to pitch in and help with routine chores or whatever project is currently underway. Laurie and Brian have been here doing just that the past few days and we are very grateful.
Brian helped Charlie with the Hawg Haus. The roof is almost complete.

Laurie assisted with egg gathering.

Full Fridge!

Our farm refrigerator filled with eggs!
We are certainly blessed by abundance! As you can see we have eggs-a-plenty! Our average daily total recently has been over one-hundred eggs with the biggest day topping out at 129 eggs.  The next morning we sold 10 layers to someone who lost some of hers to a fox.  Our chickens apparently didn't get the memo that their egg laying slows down in the winter or maybe, like the rest of us, they have been waiting for winter to arrive.  Perhaps tonight's colder temperatures will slow them down for a while.  While we don't get such high numbers from the 137 remaining layers, we are still getting over 100 eggs a day.  If you are in the area, be sure to stop by the Farm Store in order to buy eggs!
