Eggs are coming in

It’s spring and the days are getting longer so our chickens are beginning to lay more eggs again. We are getting about 13-15 eggs a day. We have 24 hens, so in full swing we should get closer to 17-18 eggs a day. Doesn’t seem like a lot, but that’s about 10 dozen a week on average!

By the way, I have some eggs available if you would like some. About 4 dozen at the moment.

The turkeys are also laying eggs! We currently have some in the incubator which should begin hatching in about 2 weeks. The extras? They taste like… well, eggs. A little larger than chicken eggs, think jumbo chicken eggs. Due to their protein content I understand they don’t scramble well. We like ours fried.

Hey, the Apex Farmers Market opens in about two weeks. Hope you will be there. Support your local farmer! Support your local community.
