8 hens, 1 day, 9 eggs!

     The old record of 8 eggs in one day is shattered!  You know by now we have 8 hens and 2 roosters.  Today they produced 9 eggs!  5:30 last night, I gathered eggs.  This morning I found 2 eggs in the coop, and at 3:30 PM there were 7 more. Super chickens!
     It's been cooler and windier than usual the last few days with low temperatures in the 20's, highs in the 40's, with a cold, usually west wind of 10-25 mph.  Monday and Tuesday we even had some snow in the air.  Today after about 10 AM it finally started to warm up a bit, and the winds let up.
     Tuesday I scooped more pigeon manure out of the barn, and today I spread it and tilled it into Colorado, Kansas, Texas, Maine, Pennsylvania, New York, the eastern part of Iowa and the southern half of Wyoming.  Those are the areas that I'll be planting to potatoes, carrots and onions on Thursday or Friday, weather permitting.
