What's in My Basket?

Eggs!  Two of them!



Usually not such an excitement, but the hens have not laid for over a month!  Usually there is a slowing down of egg production in the fall, but I have never had all the hens stop producing at the same time.

This past week I have given them more light by putting a lightbulb into the hen house and turning it on in the morning and off at about 8pm.  Obviously it has helped!  Yeah! Fresh eggs!  (I can't tell you how embarrassing it is to have to actually purchase eggs)

Considering how cold it was last week, what a bonus! I haven't been able to convinced my husband that we need some chickens- now that we can have 4 in town....

Did the city bylaws change to allow chickens now? It used to be you had to have over 1/2 acre within city limits. I must have missed that.

I can't remember where I saw it-maybe the newspaper, but now do you think I can find it on the City of PG website...Oh well, hubby is not enthused about the idea anyway.

Isn't exciting to find those eggs. My young hens started laying about 3 weeks ago, even with the short days we have. Now the trick is finding the eggs before they freeze.
