Our new flock of Golden Sex Link Layers arrived over the weekend. they came with their own Egg Trailer, which is a 8x10 storage building converted to chicken coop, sitting atop a standard boat trailer. Inside are two roosts, and access to nesting boxes... all over a screened floor. The nesting boxes are accessible from the outside to easily collect the eggs.
The birds are actively laying. First day we got 84 eggs, second day 74. We will be offering these eggs for sale soon. Right now we are in quality control, and health improvement for the hens. These ladies have been through lots of stress lately and need a chance to settle in to their new home. A few days on Scratch and Peck high nutrition feeds (extra protein) will help them.

| Beautiful brown eggs waiting to be collected. |
 |
| Kaelyn already has a favorite chicken! |
 |
| This seems a popular nesting box! |
 |
| You can see the other eggmobile in the background. The ladies seem to enjoy visiting the youngersters during the day. Wonder if they are sharing secrets? |
 |
| Some of the eggs have mud problems. A problem we need to resolve. |
