Rural/Farm Life

We're getting 3-4 eggs a day from the 5 adult hens that are laying. We've got one brooding hen who's not laying but she's hatched 5 Cuckoo Marans in the past week. We're also getting an egg a day between the two ducks. A friend is arriving tomorrow from Montana and bringing 4 Wyandotte hens. That will be quite the road trip in a van, lol. I'll be spending the holidays constructing additional yard and hen house space. It's been a relatively mild and dry fall. Winter could get pretty cold if this clear weather continues. Life is good at Dharma Gardens, but we would have appreciated better mushrooming weather. Fruiting bodies have been less than abundant.
