3 brown (1S,2L)

Chicks are roosting at night. First night 2 roosted, other 7 huddled together. Now all 9 are roosting on a 2x2 about 16 inches off the ground. I've kept them in the segregated area... one of the americaunas got out today, put her back. I think she may end up being the new chicken that crosses the road.

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
