He really doesn't much care for the chickens. He avoids gatehring the eggs at all. He'll close and open the hen house doors in the am and pm and toos a bit of food out, but that's about it...and he grumbles about it, too. haha<BR/><BR/>.35 cents a dozen, eh? Wow. If I sold my eggs for that now, I'd wouldn't be able to afford to feed them anymore.<BR/>We sell ours for $2.00 a dozen.<BR/><BR/>With 15 hens we get about 5-7 dozen eggs a week.<BR/><BR/>~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-80314171708153097162008-09-26T10:09:00.000-05:002008-09-26T10:09:00.000-05:00I saw your comment on Flydragon's blog site.

Gathering the eggs and feeding the chickens was always one of my favorite things (and they had the little chicken doors, too!) We keep talking about getting a few chickens on our little farm - maybe someday!Dog_geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797650391128520269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-3477529169934769142008-09-25T23:55:00.000-05:002008-09-25T23:55:00.000-05:00Okay--here you are!

Not sure what you call I do remember several large red building full of chickens. I thought it was great fun to help out when we came to visit. My cousins still hate eggs.Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621107218267372986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-19514829433999078992008-09-25T09:48:00.000-05:002008-09-25T09:48:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing this story.

We didn't have little chicken doors though:) One of the things I remember about our chickens is the time my sister put a little rope around one chickens leg and took it for a walk down the street. Neighbors thought that was a little weird. We thought it was normal, lolflydragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561665960229511333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-65025704107856978762008-09-25T09:38:00.000-05:002008-09-25T09:38:00.000-05:00Hi there.
