So yesterday I promised you all a post about our Egg Factory but I did not get those pics done so instead I will post about our Egg Factory workers. We have 3 chickens who are 1 year and 1 month old today!!!! We have Carmen who is a New Hampshire Red and she is also known as Big Mama. She is the foreman of the group, she walks around and makes sure that everyone is doing their jobs and she alerts the whole neighborhood when an egg has been laid. We have 2 Buff Orpingtons, Bernice and Mae. Bernice is the friendliest and neediest chicken you will ever meet but a very hard worker. She will dig to China if given enough time in her spare time she loves to watch TV and sit in your lap. Mae is the shy, quiet one but also a very hard worker...here she is in the midst of laying an egg.
When we clear out any of the garden beds to replant, we cage them up and let the girls do their job. They scratch and dig through the soil looking for bugs or bits of vegetation to eat. Meanwhile this is tilling the soil for us and their poop fertilizes the soil to make for bigger, better plants.

Great job ladies...keep up the good work!!!!
