Alhough it's been three weeks since last we spoke, news around the teeny tiny farm is sparse. I've been sick for two of the three weeks making news even more sparse. Add the fact the hens have been on strike for quite some time and that makes even less news.
In the 10 years hens have been in our lives, this is the first we've had to buy eggs. What?! The cause of the egg shortage has to be molting season, although it's never struck so hard before. And as you know I'll not do the ole trick of adding light to the coop to force production. Nope, if you need a rest, then take it. We've gotten two eggs in the past week and it was cause for celebration.
Here are the slackards at play.
Donks are chill as always. They've pretty much lost interest in the pasture and demand more hay. We loaded up the trailer with the first half of winter's hay allotment and will get more around Christmas which should take us to first cutting.
