Morley’s Acres is officially in the egg business. The first 8 dozen have flown out the door and found their way to various kitchens. Our fall babies are now full-grown ladies and they are proud of their new laying status. Now that it is spring (although the thermometer outside denies this – it is currently about 10 degrees), it is time to increase our flock.
New babies are here. We now have itsy-bitsy Wellsummers, Delawares, and a freebie New Hampshire Red. In a day or so, I will pick up our 4 Golden Sex-Links. The youngsters are happy and warm in their brooding nursery and Tim now has about 6 weeks to get the third coop in place.
Today I let the new layers mingle with the grown hens for the first time. Soon the temporary fence will move over to separate the growing babes. By July, we will have 27 layers. This should do the trick. Between devoted buyers, our Bed & Breakfast guests, family, baking, etc, each and every egg will be lovingly used.
