Leghorn hen is looking a bit ill from the rain this week. Yesterday she had burrowed behind bale of straw, She's quite spattered with mud as well. I'll be keeping an eye on her through the storms. She's not for the stewpot unless I see her moving with at least some of her prior vigor.

Purchasing eggs

$5 per dozen

These eggs have not been washed – they have a protective cuticle.

Wash before using.

Refrigerate after washing.

Eggs are put in cartons with the oldest eggs along the hinge side of the carton.

I use white and green eggs to delineate new days the white eggs mark the start of a day, green end of day.

Chickens are fed organic feed and scratch.

They also are fed kitchen scraps, most of which is also organic.

The logging to the right has most the most recent day's egg totals

followed by a rolling time series of 7 days production by color

then 3 day and 7 day totals
