Flock Focus Friday, 7/12/13

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.

My coop (and kitchen) is decorated with vintage farm items, and I would SO very much love the egg scale! And since I already give Ultra Egg to the girls, I'd love that too!

Your prizes are always amazing! My chickens favorite way to beat the heat so far is to hang out under my tomato plants!

I have been looking at egg scales! I don't really NEED it for measuring eggs (although it would certainly gets used for that) I just think it would be SOOOOOOO cute to have around for decoration!!!
