I agree with ya Feesh...time off of for repair of the egg flume

Hey Scott
What kind of chickens you got?
Rhode island Reds or Black Sex-Links?(Brown Eggs)
I have 14 (10 Sex-links/4 Reds)
I get about 10-12 eggs a day.
My hens are 9 month old and laying real good.
With cost of feed, I might be better off buying eggs Ha! Ha!.
I am selling my eggs for $3.00 a Dzn. Can't keep up with the demand.

They gettin it done now

I've got Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks. They sure do taste better than store bought eggs.

What about the brown eggs in Kroger, would they be as good as yours Scott??

I think it has a lot to do with what the chickens are fed. Besides commercial feed, mine get the kitchen scraps and green grass, clover and stuff.

It also has a lot to do with whats in the chicken feed.....these big egg farms trick them everyway they can to mass produce.....special lights to extend simulated daylight hours, and then steroids, and chemicals in the feed etc. Home grown like Scotts doing eating cracked corn and other grains and the other stuff he talks about.....its more natural and that makes it better I think.

My granddaughter has eight hens and gives us fresh eggs.I don't eat store bought anymore.
