Laying Again

Around Thanksgiving each year my hens begin to molt and kind of "go on strike" for awhile.

Eggs are hard to come by for a few months.

But usually sometime around mid January,
egg production starts up again,

and we can have scrambled eggs for breakfast
whenever we'd like 

and I don't have to ration my eggs for baking.

As a side note, I have been raising chickens for almost three years now.

My original flock started laying in January of 2011,

and in two years of egg production I have needed to buy only three dozen eggs 

to supplement my supply.

And I had free coupons for 2 cartons of them!
