Egg production for 7/11 - 4 brown eggs, 0 green eggs (americauna hens lay green eggs, really).
More likely later in the day.

Picture of coop and eggs may be posted at any moment. Egg production numbers may be a regular feature... then again may not. There also is potential to have a chicken yard cam set up. And the video of a chicken crossing the road may yet be made as well.

Why?

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
