Is It All It's Cracked Up To Be?

THIS....

....TURNED INTO THIS!

AND THIS....

....TURNED INTO THESE!!


NOW WE WONDER.....IS WHAT STARTED OUT TO BE SUCH AN EGG-CELENT IDEA, ALL IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE?
Thankfully, we have been able to sell our farm fresh brown eggs and those 102 chickens are finally beginning to pay for themselves. We are attempting to separate the roosters from the hens and are planning to slaughter some of those roosters off. Lotta' chickens!! Many of our church family enjoy brown eggs so they are buying many and I finally convinced Mark that it was a great idea to check with our little store in town and make arrangements to sell eggs there if at all possible. This was a successful attempt and so "Jim's" is selling our eggs. A few of the chickens died and so we are now down to 94 combined roosters and hens. They were supposed to be a mixed lot with half of each, but we suspect we've got way more hens than half. We are presently picking up at least 5 dozen daily. Lotta' eggs!!
Ole' McFultzy had a farm. E-I, E-I, OHHHHH!
