Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!!

Chicka Chicka How Revolting,
Larry the Cabinet Guys are Molting.


Whatever that means...


Sometimes you may hardly notice a soft molt, except as a reduction in laying. Molting takes a few weeks or more, depending on the "hardness" of the molt--it can seem like a hardship when you don't have delicious fresh eggs! birds lay fewer (or no) eggs while they are molting.

Well that's all fine and dandy but the Hendricks have been living off one egg a week!
Man cannot live by bread alone!
They never thought they could dislike Larry Krueger the Cabinet guy any more than they already did, but this dream was becoming a reality!



But what is this??
 Today the family found not one, not two, but 6 eggs! Huzzah!! Now maybe it could be a fluke, but start saving your egg cartons people!

  1. Thanks for the info about molting -- I had no idea. I guess our chickens haven't molted...or just did it slightly because we never noticed anything!

  2. You sure are learning a lot about chicky chickens! I can't believe that someone painted those eggs with the faces on them.
