I probably need to slow down a bit on all the treats. I keep 2 waterers out there during this heat. One in the house and one in the run. <br /><br />Jennifer, The egg yolks are really dark!<br />Hope next week maybe I will see some more eggs. Looks like the humidity will be lower and the temps more reasonable.Frugal Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190205304276427805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636380768209162704.post-56499965695795894982010-08-14T08:39:21.613-07:002010-08-14T08:39:21.613-07:00Look at that egg!

When they were too large for a bin in our laundry room, we gave them to friends that have a farm. They are now free range hens (and one rooster... surprise!) <br /><br />Our farmer friends gave us a dozen eggs from their more mature hens and they were amazing! The best eggs I've ever had, but the yolks were orange... so much so that they turned our pancakes a bit orange - the boys thought it was really cool!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17532625642319909028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636380768209162704.post-46288941015157773432010-08-13T22:31:03.989-07:002010-08-13T22:31:03.989-07:00So cute!

The heat is real hard on them.<br />I got some oyster shell at the feed store.<br />Save your egg shells washed dried and grind to powder in a food processor. Add some oat meal to it. We save all the heals of bread off the loaf and grind that with the egg.<br />They love it!Donettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530145585581721795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636380768209162704.post-65080800668286345332010-08-13T20:31:15.735-07:002010-08-13T20:31:15.735-07:00Our local CSA farmer Carol told us that she has no...Our local CSA farmer Carol told us that she has no eggs for us because the hens go on an egg "strike" when it's too hot. Maybe that's all it is???Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858543043754603289noreply@blogger.com
