We are saying good bye to many chickens in our current flock. We sold a few last week to a friend and some more this week to a regular customer. Wehave a few others who have inquired about purchasing. We also sell eggs if anyone is interested. We don’t really profit off of chicken and egg sales, it is more of a way for us to keep our costs down and still enjoy free range eggs and meat.
MrLivingOurWay is well into looking for some replacements for those chickens that were sold which will introduce some much needed new blood into our flock after 4 years. I’ll try to post pictures when they arrive.
We are getting about 20 eggs per day from the chickens. Those chickens that prefer to free range are hiding their eggs around the yard and the kids enjoy looking for them.

We just picked up 20 new chickens last night - mostly buff orphingtons, but a few barred rocks and rhode islands and I think one americana. Dh threw them in the pen late last night - I still have to check them out!
ReplyDeleteThose are our favorite breeds of chickens here. Does your American lay blue eggs? We have some crosses that have the blue feet and the Americana look but they've never layed a blue egg.
ReplyDeleteThey don't...we had some little feather duster type ones that laid green eggs, but no blue ones. The Americana lays almost white, actually.
ReplyDeleteOkay, we finally started getting blue eggs. Some of the new Americana ones have the blue leggs (the one we had did not - must be a cross?) and we're getting a few blue ones now. The kids are amazed!
ReplyDeleteYeah, we had some crosses that had some blue legs but not blue eggs. What do the kids think of those blue ones?
