Six pack

December 27, 2007

SixpackWe have top hens, I might say. Even during cold winter days they supply us each and every day with eggs. And all are contributing, so we can pick up six fresh eggs of various sizes each morning. This is of course way above our consuming capacity, so we were starting to get a massive egg supply in the fridge. At first a bit unsure what to do with all those eggs, we now bring them to a someone down the road and trade them for meat from his livestock.

Also, when all hens finally did lay eggs they would lay them more or less during the day. So we picked up a few in the early morning, another one after an hour and then a couple in the afternoon. Now, the girls have decided to synchronize their efforts and the “six pack” is ready each morning at 8:30. Good girls!

    Ongelooflijk, dat jullie kippendames in deze tijd elke dag een ei produceren; wij hadden gedurende 30 jaar kippen, maar mochten nooit een dergelijke productie ervaren. Blijf ze maar goed verzorgen!!

Got something to say?
