We've Got Eggs...Again! Yay!

Tweet

Yes, the chickens are coming out of their molt and we have eggs again, finally! This year the molt ended earlier than usual for my flock. They usually don't start laying again until March and one year it was April before they started laying again. For those of you that don't know, hens stop laying eggs or slow drastically down when they start molting (loss of feathers and new ones grow in) in the Fall. I am happy to have fresh eggs for breakfast again! For a good week now, I have been collecting eggs from 1-5 a day. I noticed one day I had a small egg, which would be from the new Cinnamon Queen chicks that I got last summer. They are now of egg laying age. I didn't have to worry about buying eggs on my last shopping trip as I have an 18 count carton of eggs collected in my refrigerator. I am hoping that the winter blast next week does not confuse the girls and they continue laying. I can't wait for the time change, so that they can get back to normal with their laying. Are egg prices starting to down in your supermarket? The cheapest I have seen them in my area was at Aldi's for $2.49 a dozen. Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain
