I have blade envy.<BR/><BR/>All but one of my Ameracaunas are taking a winter break, some of my Wyandottes are molting and the rest are spring chickens, one is a mama right now. Yesterday I got 4 eggs out of 27 hens. Do they cut back on the grain? No way. They had better start making up for it if they know what's good for them.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I sent your bag out yesterday afternoon, if you could please let me know when it arrives safe and sound, I'd appreciate it.

I have 2 little banty hens that are laying right now and one lays brown and one lays blue - very fun! <BR/><BR/>Wow!!! You have a lot of chickens. <BR/><BR/>Congrats on your tractor!

I have a bit of a motley assortment, some who are very old (5-7 years) and some who are rescue birds, but I have about 50 hens of age. So in a sense my egg count is low, but some are likely too old and some are still recovering from previous circumstances, and some may be too young. <BR/><BR/>We started our vacation at Biltmore (loved the gardens and the winery!) and then we went along the blue ridge trail and stayed for a day in Hiddenite, a small town with one of those sluicing mines where we got some fun little stones, then we went to Winston-Salem for a day, then on to Raleigh to visit friends for a couple of days, and then to Seagrove for another day. We had such a marvellous time - it's a beautiful state.Claire MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603169881463831299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113326581808647426.post-66519476435227685002008-12-05T14:17:00.000-04:002008-12-05T14:17:00.000-04:00Don't ya just love collecting eggs? the various co...Don't ya just love collecting eggs? the various colors make it so much fun too. what a delight for me.
