Haven't posted for a while.
4 brown Tuesday.

Monday 2 brown, 1 green.

Chicks have been thriving... but yesterday one of the RI Reds (2nd cohort) was killed - something removed most of its head - it was under a tote in the chick segregation yard. Thinking about how I found it might have been a rodent.

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
