Eggs! Finally!

A couple months ago, I would not have believed it. Hoped, maybe, but believe? It seemed almost out of our grasp. And yet, it has happened. Knock on wood, we are now experiencing Chicken Bliss.

To illustrate this more exactly:

Two months ago: 15 roosters living in the garage. Feathers, chicken dust, flies, gear, feed and constant ruckus greeted us each time we stepped foot out the door. Oh yeah, don’t even think about being barefoot!

Now: Car in the garage. Roosters outside in their coop.

Two months ago: 6 hens eating their body weight in feed each week, pooping and killing the grass while producing nothing to offset the cost.

Now: Hens producing 4-5 eggs each day and happily scarfing down garden scraps. Filling feeder once a week.

Now: Chickens let out daily to free range.
Now: Happy chickens.
Now: Happy life.

Somehow it all worked out.
