EGGCELLENT DECISION HAS BEEN MADE!!!

The 'feathered friends' ducks, chickens, turkeys, geese think it's Spring (almost here) and have been laying eggs like crazeeee. Hence, we have been gathering eggs like crazeeee but it's no longer freezing every single night, so the time has come to let these girls be responsible for the eggs they are laying. No more gathering of the duck, turkey, and geese eggs---We say---'let the games begin!' Time for them to lay, set, hatch and raise their own babes. That is what they are supposed to do. Unfortunately, the natural broodiness (setting on eggs, hatching and raising) has been bred out of too many 'feathered friends' and it's time for them to get back to doing what they are supposed to do!!!

Soooooooooooo-it will be probably twenty(ish) days before they get enough eggs to set on, then 28 days for turkey hatching, and 35 days for duck hatching, it's going to be quite a process!

YOU GO GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
