From the latest Karl's Farm CSA Newsletter:
I'm sorry to say we no longer have excess eggs for sale. It always happens, we build up a flock, orders flood in and then the hens either stop laying or get themselves eaten by unforeseen predators. We lost three of our best layers to a neighbor's dog a little while ago. The neighbor had no idea his dog was a killer and has kept him confined since I told him, but we are still down by three laying hens. Them our four oldest hens have gone into a moult-- if you have never seen a moulting chicken I would advise you to keep it that way-- ugly just doesn't do justice to it. Moulting hens do not lay eggs. We have a plan-- we are building a new, larger, chicken house and will be getting more chicks.
Which is sadder? The loss of the chickens or the eggs?
