Very little this week. Other than work, mostly been thinking thru how to deal with any situation with the wife laid up. Steps and vehicles are big obstacles to crutches.
On the plus side, the chickens are laying eggs up a storm.

Echo in fall when it starts getting dark sooner up here we put a red heat lamp in the coop and leave it on all winter till spring. It tricks the chickens into laying all thru the year with very little drop off in egg laying.
I've read that.....have just been trying to avoid running a cord out there.....I'll let the wife make the call to do so.....it's her project.
But we were selling enough eggs to pay for all the feed....I do miss that.

I talked to another prep buddy of mine today. His have quit recently. They are less than 2 years old. I feel very lucky, mine are doing better than they ever have.
How much do you charge for a dozen? I'm getting to the point of being ready to start selling some myself. I was thinking $3.00/dozen. Our eggs are mostly large to extra large.
I'm not sure what she's charging...I'll ask and report back.
