Eggsicles
I just had my first "Oh, duh!" moment of the day. I discovered that this time of year if you don't collect eggs quickly enough, they freeze solid. Also, the hens avoid using the nesting boxes with frozen eggs in them. Who'd want to sit on an ice cube?
oh ya, happens a lot, but they thaw out eventually (in the fridge please and covered) and then I use them..... my birds seem to be on strike - i had a chat with them yesterday .... time will tell
In September 2008, we dived into our dream of creating a small, sustainable farm. Neither of us has previous farming experience, but we have enthusiasm and many ideas for this little 10-acre farmstead.

Hey Susan,
I wanted to drop a link for you to check out. You might find some really great micro farming info and a few chuckles.

Have a wonderful holiday season and be safe out there, this blizzard we are getting is a doozie!
