Every day I remind the hens "people need eggs to eat! Please get to work!" And I get home and find a few dirty eggs in the nest that I have to take inside, scrub, and put into our Busy Solitude Farm cartons for your enjoyment.
Then this morning when I went into the barn I saw this:
The nest boxes were full. Well, in fact they were over full--
See the extra tail behind this hen? Two on a box!!!
And much to my surprise, when this Ameraucana hen left her nest, what did I find?
Egglebert hopped up to look, too, and when we peered into the nest box we found---
A neatly packaged half-dozen eggs, all clean and shiny!!!
Egglebert gave them his stamp of approval, and you should, too!

Egglebert is doing a good job fertilizing and supervising.
Wow! And without thumbs, too! Impressive.

Where'd you get the cool egg carton?
