Checking in on everyone molting chickens how are you fairing. Do we need to have a conversation about the things that can help? Should I do a class?

09/23/2023

It’s is that time of year

Lots of people new to Alaska aren't used to things like that - and it can have disastrous consequences.

First there was supposed to be more white eggs then brown so brown cost more now you’re paying more because the eggs are blue. Just buy farm fresh and you’d even get a green eggs if your lucky

Can’t help but notice the decrease in eggs. So my question is, is the decrease because of fall molt and less eggs are available, or are my hours at the Cafe making difficult to drop eggs off?

In regards to an earlier post about water glassing eggs: Yes, it works! We do it every year. We use 3 gallon buckets. Just mix up 1 quart distilled water and 1 tbsp pickling lime (that’s the ratio, you’ll need more obviously), and start adding eggs. They preserve surprisingly well and there is no change to flavor, although the white does get thinner/runnier… that being said they cook up just like normal. I’ve eaten eggs in March that were laid in July, and they’re just as go…

Truth

The ugly truth about REAL homesteading: our kitchens are dirty, there's sand on our floors, there's junk in our yards, the grass is overgrown, there may be turkeys sleeping on our windshields, there's p**p in the coops, and the projects are never, ever complete. We're busy like you can't even imagine, and we're usually covered in dirt and sweat behind the camera. We can never expand fast enough and it just seems we can't keep up. It's SO much, but somehow, we all love it and just can't get enough!! 😁

This is one reason we wash and candle our eggs before we sale them. The other is to find the cracked eggs
