it was a "special" day, Cyn... far from the usual, which is usually mostly just laying in the hammock, under the fan, and feeding the animals at dawn and dusk.

yep, we have eggs for breakfast every day... we eat the small ones, the over-large ones, and the off-color ones.

we barter 2 or 3 flats a day, in exchange for veggies... (there's 30 in a flat)

and we *still* have enough left over to hatch a batch (42) a month.

and we get to make roast chicken from all the "extra" roosters, and always have meat in the freezer... if you have the space for it, free-range chicken farming is easy and fun... the chickens mostly take care of themselves, we just had to make STURDY possum-proof coops, and safe nest-boxes, out of scrap lumber.

we also have ducks, geese, pigs, goats, guinea pigs, and rabbits, on 6 acres.

and mmmmmmmmmmmmm, fresh eggs, brown, organic, free-range, tasty, yum!!
