Production has been pretty good - 4-6 eggs a day.

Lost the Rhode Island Red hen today to a skunk. I hope this is a one off, it was strange in that it happened during daylight hours.

Thinking about a chick order for May 20.

3 white layers: W.C. Black Polish, White Leghorn, Star Spangled Hamburg
5 brown: Buff Orpington, 2 Rhode Island Red, 2 Barred Rock
2 green: Americauna

and 5 meat birds (orders with less than 15 chicks have a $35 surcharge for the heat pack needed - so the meat birds are essentially free, as well as two of the layers).
