rogue rooster
the roosters are getting busy now & the young hens started laying this past month just as the days have gotten so short, thus we weren't sure how many eggs we could expect to get before spring.
we're trying out keeping a light on in the coop for an hour or so after dark and we've started getting 9-10 eggs a day this past week or so! (and we're probably missing some as we've been finding eggs laid in random places in the yard and woodshed, too)
the boys sold their first couple of dozen over the weekend, C was able to bring a few dozen along on his hunting trip. some we've given away, and i'm going to try and freeze some, too.
