Our star layers are ISA Brown Hens, laying rich brown eggs, that are oh so fluffy when cooked. Our White leghorns continue to produce large white eggs. We have a few buff orpington hens. I randomly weight the eggs, and all the eggs are over 2.0 ounces, so all eggs are large or extra large. We found a place to absorb our egg production - McGreevy's in Waldoboro gets our eggs. In return, we get an occasional pepperoni pizza. Of course, you can always buy them here at the farm for $3 a dozen. We were getting about a dozen eggs a day. There are a few regular egg customers, as our egg reputation grows.
With the loss of 12 hens and 2 roosters, we are low in egg production, and taking a break right now after the heartache of losing the chickens. We have 4 chickens left.
