Not sure about Geno, but we sure do Mike, on a timer switch, so they get the 12 hours of light needed for production.

5 hens, 5 eggs a day, since September.

Couple of 3-4 egg days, over the recent climate change period !

Currently got about 6 doz in the fridge, time to bring some for my guys at work again.


My uncle was stationed at Pearl Harbor after the attack. He was a navy metal smith. The officer in charge of his shop had arranged for a local to bring him a dozen eggs every week. They always came when my uncle was on duty and the superior was not. Ernie would take the eggs, boil one and replace it, then set the dozen aside for the officer. He kept waiting for the guy to complain to the local, but he never said a word to anyone. Probably was afraid that the guy would stop selling him the eggs.

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
