To give you a good idea about our routine with the chickens; I get home around 3 in the afternoon come in and get the egg basket and the bucket of garden scraps ( mostly just okra now , we put in peelings and ends from various garden produce and feed it to the birds with their ration.) I weigh out their feed and put it in the feeding trough, and while they go to town I collect the eggs from the nests, at this point I check their waterers, inspect their overall health and head in to sort and wash the eggs. Once inside I rinse the eggs in a natural chemical free egg wash for 15 minutes; then rinse then off in cold water and dry them on a towel. Any that I find cracked or broken I make a note of how many and set them to the side for me or the dogs.( they love fried eggs.) I
then put them in cartons and mark with a date . That's pretty much it, takes about Half an hour.
The fence is coming along good, I have all the posts in place and starting on the corner braces and the gate braces I'm using a product my neighbor told me about called wedge loc, it works quite well. It makes putting in braces fairly simple.(I will include a picture) well thats all the time i have for now, untill next time
