2 brown, 1 green as of 10:00 AM. + 4 brown! total of 7 eggs for the day

I'm going to start picking which old hens are for the stew pot this week. I think the golden sexlinks are the first to go, then a couple of rhode island reds. Want to have flock down to 8 hens by the time the chicks arrive, and will drop to just the 2 aracaunas when the new laying hens go into production.

I feel like home produced, slaughtered and butchered meat is wholesome, and more humane than meat from commercial production.
