I keep frustrating the hens, and intend to continue. OK, we have 2 broody ones. I picked a couple of them up and took their eggs, gently tossed the hens outside. I did put 3 eggs under one of the broody ones, who has pretty well completed her clutch, too. We don't need ALL the hens to be broody at once; can't afford that.

I sent 2 dozen eggs up to Sandpoint yesterday with a courier because I thought they'd been around too long, needed to be used ASAP. Figures that I could have sold them today! I've been a little worried that we aren't moving eggs fast enough. Dropped into the 2 H&R Block offices where I used to work, left 2 cards,one for eggs and one for the store where I now work. Sold 4 dozen Wednesday, sent 2 dozen up to Sandpoint and gave a dozen to a friend who's husband is also unemployed more than he is working. Ben and I dropped by a hair salon where my boss' stylist had expressed interest, just to drop off a card, ended up with an order for 6 dozen, and only had 4dozen on hand. So we promised the other 2 dozen on Monday. We're out of eggs at home! We'll have to wait til tomorrow to get more.
