Headed Home

Sister Fleta headed home to Coin, AR at 8:00. Logan and Astrid sent eggs to all our folks up home!  Makes me smile.

This is Astrid’s flock. Much larger than mine. She has little turkeys in her brooder and 2 dozen chickens to replace her older hens. She hatched those in her incubator.  Hens start laying at about 6 months. They lay for their entire lifespan, but a three year old chicken won’t lay many eggs and they consume the same amount of food. 

Helen sent me lots of fresh vegetables from her garden. The new potatoes were delicous.
