We are EGGstatic

Richard and I are getting egg laying HENS!!!!  We are so excited.  Getting the Americaunas which lay beautiful pastel, Easter egg-like eggs. 

Richard needs to figure out how to build a coop.  It seems pretty easy.  Just need to find a way to keep them warm in the winter and keep predators away.  I’ve picked out names for them.  You can get 12 chicks for about $15.  Can you believe it???? So my first 12 names are as follows:

Annie
Beatrice
Clementine
Dolly
Ernestine
Gracie
Hattie
Ida
Jenny
Lucy
Myrtle
Nell

All good old farmer wife names.  I LOVE them.  

We should get one egg from each hen each day.  

I’ve already got people lined up to buy them.
