baymule said:Our first year of keeping chickens, we just had two 18 month old hens. They molted and quit laying. I bought ONE dozen eggs from the store and 2 1/2 months later, I still had ONE egg left! Then i bought 6 chicks in the spring, and now 1 1/2 years later, they are molting, but I get 1-4 eggs a day. I give them the "I am going to squeeze eggs our your A$$ if you don't gimme some eggs NOW" talk. They look scared.
Our grand daughter knows the taste difference between store bought and Mamaw's eggs, even without her parents telling her they are out of Mamaw's eggs!
