Our new additions
Our new girlies are laying lots of these!
On Tuesday a local farmer was selling off some of his 1 year old chickens so we bought 12 which now brings us to a total of 18 chickens. We average between 12-16 eggs per day which is great for this time of year. The new girls settled in really well and lay huge eggs because they are on their second laying cycle. So if anyone wants a dozen free range eggs we're selling them $3 per mixed size dozen. We have a few customers already and we're eating lots of omelettes, quiche and fried egg butties!
Our massive 35lb turkey which has affectionately become known as 'Frankinturkey', is as I write cooking in my oven. I must admit there isn't much room to spare in there and the tin was bending under the weight.
The snow has eventually come to stay (hopefully). We only have about 4" but it's very windy and has drifted a lot. Today has been bitter with a windchill of -29 degrees so we are looking forward to more snow this week to warm things up a little. The kids get up at 6am to check the district website if there is any chance of a snow day. Thank fully there hasn't been one yet since they went back but with exam week looming there is a high chance they may lose one of their days off after the exams to sit any that are postponed!
