Keeping cool was the name of the game this week. Wild weather included 80% humidity, 90°+F temperatures, torrential rains and two, confirmed tornadoes in the area. Thankfully, we are no worse for the wear and the grass and flowers

These eggs will be blown out and sold for decorating. The eggs’ contents are a great source of protein & will be fed back to my peeps.

I subscribe to your blog via email. The chicken egg scale would be so fun! My chickens are just about the laying age!

such a diversity of chickens in your flock, I admit I'm a bit jealous! 5 of my 6 girls are now laying, it'd be great to be able to weight or add omega 3 to my eggs :)
