Chickens in My Kitchen?

The Ladies have been doing an outstanding job laying eggs. We are getting at least 1 dozen a day, every day now. This past winter the girls went on strike. No eggs for days. We decided to let nature take it's course and didn't use any artificial light to lengthen the days and increase egg production. In commercial egg houses they do terrible things to the hens to make them lay. As a nurse I recognize how important sleep is to my patients. They need lights out and undisturbed time. So do our hens. We did use heat lamps on the coldest nights. Oh, on the chickens not my patients. Just sayin.
We are using clean, recycled egg cartons. Saves money and the earth.

I have chickens in my kitchen too. Not the noisy, pooping kind. Painted pictures of chickens,

bought pictures of roosters.....

and more roosters.....

and chickens just standin there.

The hen fruit ends up here. Waiting. Waiting to be sold to anyone who wants to have a heavenly breakfast. Is there any difference between store bought eggs and farm fresh? If you have to ask, run, don't walk to a neighbor who sells fresh eggs. Heaven. Pure heaven.

I sell eggs to co workers at my hospital. I have them addicted now. They just can't help themselves. Every day I go to work I here "hey Kelly, you got eggs? I got money. Let's make a deal." Yep, addicted nurses and pharmacy staff. Eggs. Hen Crack!
