Day 47 The Egg



Each hen will lay around 300 eggs per year if you give them artificial light and keep them worm during the winter. You don't need any roosters for hens to lay eggs. Just need the roosters if you want fertile eggs for hatching.

Anyway you can use a chicken egg works with quail eggs. 4 to 5 quail eggs equal 1 chicken egg for use in recipes.

I don't notice any difference in taste.


Chicken and quail egg.


 
scissors for cutting quail eggs.
They cost about $10.00

Day 34

Today is one of those days when you are not sure if you want to be a homesteader.  We had a 6 month old rooster named Reggie.  A week ago he started limping.  Couldn't find any thing wrong with him.  As of two days ago he couldn't even walk.  I had to put him down today.  Hopefully tomorrow Will be better.
