Oh right, I didn't know you lived in Australia. I couldn't be bothered to turn my laptop upside down to read your location.You can't legally still then in nsw, Australia unless your entire flock had been vaccinated against all sorts. Some of these vaccinations can only be given to 5 day old chicks otherwise they are useless.
We swap eggs for other produce when we can with hubby's work colleagues and anyone visiting usually goes home with a dozen or so but we still have way more than we can eat.
It's one of the problems of rescuing chickens! Once they are fit and healthy again...
When people insist on paying for them, I settle on $5 per dozen which is very cheap for free range organic eggs. Supermarkets sells them at around $8.99 free range organic per dozen, private shops for much more.
But I'm at the end of a dirt road 12km from the nearest tarmac. I wouldn't get much passing trade!
Your missing a bit!I've just had spud pie chips and gravy for my supper. A bit too much potato on the plate for my liking. Next time it'll be a cheese and onion pie and chips.
If you do get sick of it avoid paintwork, it'll clear the paint back to the metal.If that f*ckin' alarm on a car inthe road behind my house doesn't stop going off unnecessarily every 5 minutes I'm going round there with napalm and bolt croppers!!!

Was that the day you took the stabilizers off your bike?Exactly nine years ago right now I was getting very excited and a little nervous.
Good work! I need to do something similar. Today I have cleared the runner beans which have been delicious this year. I have a bag of tulip bulbs which need planting sooner rather than later.I hope Mr Slow Worm Esq. appreciates all my hard work today preparing his possible hibernation nest for the winter. He, or she, does not like to be disturbed between November and March, so the wooden compost bin has bin emptied, and refilled. The bottom layer is a mix of twigs and softer, older material, very cosy if you are a legless lizard.
I was able to spread six very large bucketsful of compost around the garden, and still have five very large sacks of compost to spread around.
It was hard work and very tiring.

Question for @Reynard Do you ever get any yellow stickers yellow stickered?![]()

Boo to the red tape.
You could always make ice cream with excess eggs.And fresh pasta, enriched breads, fruit curds, custard tarts...
Eggagerating will not decrease the problem.
It would be upside down as well if I want on the tablet outside enjoying the spring sunshine and thinking in getting to warm!
We moved out here in may last year after someone offered to pay us to live here for 4 years...

Sadly I'm on a diet. A protein rich diet but a diet all the same... And I'm allergic to dairy proteins (not intolerant to lactose but anaphylactic shock allergic) so life gets more complicated.
I've just had boiled 3 dozen more eggs, given away another dozen so only have 3 or so dozen left in the fridge that are fresh, excluding the 15 they will lay today!
