| Six Egg Day |
What better reward could we ask for in our brand-new nest boxes? Yeah, six eggs in a day was a lot back then! Here you can see I’m using a mixture of straw and wood shavings in the nest boxes, which the hens seemed to like better than plain litter. I am thankful to have a free source of wood shavings through my dad’s cabinet shop, as they can be pretty expensive to buy by the bale. I have to refill the nesting litter frequently, since the chickens love to eat the wood chips!

It's funny that sily Maple's not laying eggs anymore.
