Oh, doesn’t he think he’s cute?
Udo’s no different from other guys. Us womens is always accused of looking in mirrors too much — guys don’t look in ‘em ENOUGH!
The first egg from our hen, White (the other two are Black and Red; I don’t name anything I may have to eat):
White's First Egg
It’s micro-poached, served on homemade bread. The shell was quite strong, from all the crab shells I pick up on the beach and crumble. The yolk was orange, not yellow, and sticky-rich.
Am building a new cage, one I can actually MOVE. I figure it will be better to have an actual chicken tractor, to clean the garden at end of season, get the weeds out of the walk, and not get nasty. It’s made of junk lumber and nails, so it’s not at pretty as the ones at the Chicken Tractor site. I have a terrible time visualising where boards will end up, so of course it will be a bit crooked and ugly. But the hens will be happier.
(Going to try to post personal and farm stuff at Clallam At Bay from now on. With a link to here, when I think of it).
