This has not been a particularly good year for egg production on behalf of the 16 chickens that we still have out here on the edge of nowhere (down from about 30 or so we had last year and the years before). That was before the neighbors moved in with the chicken-killing dogs. Not sure if the canine rampages scared them out of fertility, or if the rain floated their fertility to dryer grounds or if the heat has baked the fertility out of them. Whatever the cause, so far this year we have only harvested 842 eggs (that equals 70.17 dozen if you care), not that anyone other ME is counting. Some days we get no eggs, some days we get a couple eggs, but the average on a daily basis is +/- 4 eggs a day. Today was the motor-lode of eggs in recent memory; 9 eggs. Quite a haul if I do say so myself! That ought to do us for a bit. On the weekends, Jody and I go through more than a dozen eggs in two breakfasts, but we have been poor neighbors in the egg sharing department. Maybe that will turn around now. We shall see.Otherwise, this was just a pretty typical Saturday. I headed in to Austin this morning for an appointment, and that was followed by a nap in the big blue chair. Jody and I went into town in the afternoon for lunch, followed by another nap in the chair. Tomorrow we have been invited to Lupper with Candy and Mike, and that will be nice.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, EGGS, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
