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?

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.

I have been reading your blog and this fellows. Great information and stories.

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