Spring must be heading here soon… the girls are all getting busy and producing easily 2 to 3 dozen eggs a DAY! It’s nuts! We’ve gotten 4 dozen days too!

Maggie is working hard to finish her egg sign for the homestead. We normally sell them on Tuesdays when we go to town, but right now we’ve easily got 12 dozen in the frig and more out in the barn to get tomorrow… I tried boiling a dozen today, but of course, being way way too fresh, they didn’t peel very nicely and ended up being dog food. Which, of course, they didn’t mind at all. I’m going to try a few with vinegar in the water… I tried today the 1/4 cup of salt and high temps/icewater trick, but it didn’t work well.

I suspect it will only get worse as the warm days finally start to approach! I’m going to wait till next week and a little warmer temps to get the incubator going again. That will eat up a few dozen for sure!

Of course, that means more chickens… and then more eggs! Agh!!! It’s a never ending cycle!!!
