More eggs from the Carter Chicken Farm

Well, they just keep a comin'. Of course it has taken a week to figure out how to not get them to peck the eggs after laying, but that is all in the past. Dan went out yesterday and found two, then Jeff went out this a.m. and found two more. Notice the one to the far left on the top row. It isn't hard at all, it's more like a water balloon. So we cooked them up this a.m. and had sausage too. Mmm, mmm good that's what Carter's eggs are mmm, mmm, good!!!!

The Chicken egg Farm

Well, it is now official! The Little Red hen has now laid her first egg. Yahooooooo!!! I can't even begin to tell you how relieved I am. It has been a long 5 months. Every day I was going out and giving a pep (egg) talk to Red and she just wasn't producing. Then wahla. There it is. It was quite funny cause I left her locked up until 5 p.m. cause Aunt Jackie came and thought her dog might eat the chickens, when she left I went to let them out. Jeff had already checked on them before me and didn't see an egg. Well now we are chicken egg farmers. Now it will be another month before Spot (the black and white chicken) lays her first egg. It is slow work but that $500.00 egg was worth it! HAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! I am truly loving this summer with all the gardening, canning and animal life hear at our little farm. Yippeee!

Happy Birthday Dan

So Dan had his 21st birthday on the 7th! Happy Day for Dan. He was so excited to turn 21 and be a man now. I took this picture the morning after his big day, cause it got kinda hectic at dinner and I forgot the camera. Anyway he didn't want a cake, he wanted pumpkin pie. I know he doesn't look too excited, that's because it's 6:30 a.m., who ever thought he would be up at the time in the morn'. Well, this is his third week of classes and he is doing very well, being really responsible and I think he really likes school!? Next week he starts clinicals and has to be there at 5 a.m. so he will stay with Chris & Carina the night before and then not have a 45 min. drive. Good Luck to you , Dan!
