I had planned on writing up a post about all the problems I had in 2025, from old seeds not germinating to slugs killing the ones that did. But as with most things, I kept putting it off. Getting into December, I figured I should really get that written up so I could just add in how many eggs we got this year and be ready for a year end roundup. And then I had a series of minor, yet annoying health issues. I spent a lot of December either not being able to do more than watch YouTube, to just not feeling like doing more than watching YouTube. So none of that stuff got written up. My new plan, is to go over some of that stuff in a month or two when I put out a post on my plans for 2026.
The one thing I will
roundup, will be our eggs. Our old hens
had just started laying again when they were killed by a mink at the end of
January. We only managed to get 8 eggs
from them. We fixed up the coop and got
new chicks, which started laying on September 1. Since then, they’ve laid 434 eggs, of which 428
made it to the house. We’ve used a lot
of them in baking, and giving a bunch to my siblings. I’ve also sold 11 dozen to my coworkers. The cold weather hasn’t seemed to slow them
down that much, so here’s looking forward to 100+ eggs a month for 2026.
