It is not even midway through August and my chickens are at full egg production! 5 eggs per day for 5 people doesn’t sound like that much but we actually are having a hard time eating through all of them.
To eat all the eggs, my mom has been making tofu and chive eggs. All chives are from my garden and all eggs are from my chickens! All I need now is to grow Tofu XD
All my eggs in one basket! 
Late season chive flower buds. 
All mixed up! 
Tofu coated in scrambled eggs mixed with chives.
Clove was the first to lay and she did so a full month earlier than the others. Midway through July I was about to fill the feeder and was shocked to see an egg nestled in the corner of the coop! My dad built two nesting boxes in a mad rush and I started to give them crushed egg shells (we were still finishing their Grower feed) after another chicken laid an egg without an egg shell. Apparently you only need one nesting box per five chickens but since they lay at around roughly the same time, we made an extra as a precaution.
It’s been pretty crazy though. Typically you get some weird eggs in the first month or so of production, but other than that one without a shell, each egg has been perfect! So far we’ve had 4 double yolked eggs!
The day I found my chicken’s first egg, I also found that my asparagus had grown. Earlier, I skimmed off the top layer of soil when I realized I was probably smothering it. A couple weeks later, it sprouted! It doesn’t have much sun where it is so it hasn’t grown as large as it should it has certainly taught me a lot about how to grow asparagus.
Other projects has included growing a pumpkin plant (fingers crossed) and repurposing the weedy rock garden in my backyard to a flourishing herb garden! Learn more about my project in the herb page!
