Things are getting just a little out of hand in the coop!! Today, I collected ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN EGGS!!!!! Those 18 hens have sure been busy!!!! And THAT is only the count I collected. I have two hens sitting now.....one on 13 eggs.....and the other claims it's none of my business! (She tries to peck me when I try to get her to move off the nest!) So, who knows how many SHE may be sitting??
Suffice it to say, that I AM IN THE EGG BUSINESS, whether I want to be or not! Ha!! I now have slightly over 14 dozen eggs ,ready to be distributed (or sold) to folks who like fresh eggs for breakfast!!
Since I have Araucans (aka: Easter Egg Chickens - 4 hens; 1 rooster), I have several dozen of very colorful eggs, ranging from light sky-blue to deep green. (Yes, they taste just like any other egg....just have prettier shells) I also have several dozen beautiful brown eggs. Some are dark, and others are nearly beige. All, are delicious!!
The green/blue eggs are slightly smaller....so I'll probably sell them for around $2-$2.50 dozen. The brown eggs are all a nice size, so will probably go for $3.00 doz. These are all organically grown eggs, folks....meaning that my chickens eat only real food! No chemically-treated, "miracle gro" type stuff.
Seems I remember seeing a commercial about a shipping outfit (Mailboxes, Etc.??) that GUARANTEES anything they ship will arrive intact, undamaged, on time etc. And just so you'll know......FRESH eggs remain fresh for up to three (3) months without ANY refrigeration.
Even the WORST shipping company could surely get them to you in that length of time! So.....how many dozen would you like?
