It has been a long time since we had chickens. I always liked having not just a variety of birds, but of egg colors in our daily harvests.
Not in a position to have a chicken coop and yard, we found ourselves with a fortunate selection of friends that included one couple nearby with an under-utilized chicken coop.
Best of all, they were open to us adding to their flock and sharing in the feed purchases.
A match made in heaven.
Except the chickens all got together and formed a union that determined our egg ration to be one a day.
Not looking like such a good investment after all.
Then Bud captured the long-ago escaped rooster and returned him to the coop with the girls.
Strike Buster.
For two days in a row now they have produced 6 eggs per day.
The Easter Egg Chicken Ranch rises from the ashes of forsaken hopes to deliver us dozens and dozens of beautiful, fresh eggs.
