How many eggs do you eat?
Yes, they lay eggs, but he would be lackadaisical about āpickingā them daily. I donāt want eggs that a hen has been sitting on for 2 or 3 days, and I am not interested in going and getting them myself. If I did get them, Iād wash them, and heād tell me you arenāt supposed to wash them, and Iād say fine, you donāt have to wash the ones that YOU get. Now you know more about our relationship than you ever wanted to know!
@OldDoug, yes, thatās the idea. They scratch up the ground so you donāt need to do so much hoeing, etc. They also provide manure.
I have bad knees, so he does all the errands, and Iām very grateful. Iām not going to make a fuss about a few eggs.
Id say about 12 per week, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. I get my eggs from a neighbor who has chickens with names like Waffles, Poodles, Miss Peach, Little Peanut. She delivers the eggs to me at my house and usually has one of the chickens and her dogs in the car with her!
Lol. That would be something! Ive been to her farm and met her chickens. Each one has an amusing name!
