My chickens lay around 150 eggs per month. Selling 6 dozen a month would cover the cost of chicken feed and I'd still have two or three a day for myself.
Six eggs today, and maybe one more but I doubt it.
I sold my first two dozen eggs today! I hadn't planned on selling any but my neighbor texted me wondering if I had any to sell.
I had two dozen nice brown ones in the fridge I was saving to maybe make pickled eggs someday, but selling them...
All seven girls were generous today, giving me 7 eggs. One egg had what looked like either a small break from a peck, or maybe a claw hit it when a hen was rearranging the eggs to her liking.

All seven girls each laid an egg this morning. One of the hens always lays elongated eggs, and another pops out jumbo eggs regularly.
I turned four of them into breakfast with some of my homemade breakfast sausage. Sausage dipped in runny egg yolks. Yum!

I mixed together a 50/50 mixture of crushed eggshells and oyster shell crumbles and refilled their calcium supplement feeder box. Then I threw what was left of their cabbage leaf trimmings into the run for a...

It could be from the nervous hen that all the others seem to hate.
