So, things are going slow this fall. Almost no eggs thanks to the girls going on a feather strike. As you can see this girls has given up her feathers for the cause and is slowly growing them back. Of course everyone should know this is a molt and when they molt almost no eggs are produced. Good thing I don't eat eggs everyday!.JPG)
I started the experimental fall garden, you can see the beans and corn comeing up. I also have some pumpkin and cabbage and broculli and carrots. Potatos soon to get started. I don't know if any crop will be made but I planted anyway. I worry most about the pumpkin as i don't think it will take much of a cold snap. We shall see.

To help compinsate for the molt, the girls get an extra snack in the afternoon. This is corn supplied by some friends and the are hoovering it up. You can also see the size of the babies, they are the white ones that came this spring. They should be laying soon and the egg count will go up, i hope!

What an interesting coincidence that you should post today! I was thinking of you just this morning. The power company came by and sprayed my trees with herbicide (they sent me notice that they'd be doing work, but they'd already come and cut down limbs and I thought they were done). The trees they sprayed are on the opposite side of the road from the power lines. This was a total shock.
I was wondering what that would do to an organic certification, if anyone nearby had one. Seems unfair.

Good luck with the fall stuff!
