Okay, since we have had the chickens, not quite a year in total, and we have been harvesting eggs from them for almost 31 weeks, we figure that each egg we have received cost us $1.05. EACH EGG! Since that first day that we got an egg, we have collected 919 eggs. Of course I keep a count, what are you thinking? We have received 919 eggs (not including the broken ones) and we figure we have spent $1,000 on stuff either for the chickens or to keep them out of something they desperately want into. Today, we got some little picket fencing to go around the front flower beds, to keep the chickens out of it. I think it will work, they do not seem to be the types of chickens that will work too hard to get into a flower bed, when they have so many other opportunities for 'scratching'. Only time will tell.
We also had out first official harvest today; okay we have taken a miscellaneous strawberry here and there, but we got our first tomato today as well. I call this 'Still Life with Strawberry and Tomato'. What do you think? We split them tonight for dinner. Yummy.This was a pretty okay day, nothing extraordinary wither way. Tomorrow will begin early and go late, and I most likely will miss my beekeeping meeting. I will just need to see how things go.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, CHICKEN COMBAT, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
