Thursday Nights

 Thursday nights are spent washing eggs. Now that I've got a system down it doesn't actually take all that long, perhaps an hour and a half. If we were ever to have more than 30-40 hens we'd have to come up with something better. But with this number of birds, our mini-fridge in the basement works perfectly.

We keep the eggs in a small fridge all week until Thursday.
Then we wash with them with
warm water and dish soap. Rinse with warm water. 


Drip dry for a few minutes. The eggs on the ledge are for us
(cracked/weird) and the eggs in the basin are not for anyone
(broken/eaten/really weird).


Towel dry.

Into the cartons then into the fridge until sold. 

This is Skunkii, visiting from JoAnne and Jay's. He's here to service our ewes. We expect lambs for the end of May.



 Here's one of Ivy and Nina. She's getting bigger and more cute with her fluffy face.

 Ippi and Izzy. 
And a nice sunset from the other night.
