We got a normal size egg today! Hurrah! And the hens seem to know what the nesting box is for, too. The Beast was so proud to show it to me after he had checked the barn. Now if only the rest of the eggs we get are normal size I will be happy.
I've been told by several people now that we do NOT need a rooster for normal size eggs. That's kind of an old wives tale for people who are not too smart about those things. It was just *the way things were done* for ages and ages. I was also asked if we were saving the shells of the eggs we use to add to the feed to help strengthen the shells of the eggs the hens lay. It actually makes sense to me and I suppose I could put them into my little chopper so they are nice and finely chopped. The Beast bought a special feed for them that contains calcium but I suppose it wouldn't hurt. I'll have to try to remember to do that.
I also got my hair cut today...at a real salon! I got a modified shag cute ala Judy Carne (if you remember her). I really love it. Not only does it feel good but it should be easy to take care of now. I needed the hair on one side of my head to be thinned down a bit (why does hair grow that way?) and it turned out just great. I was very pleased. I'll go in before leaving for my trip to Chicago to have it trimmed up again so I don't have to fuss with it more than blow it dry.
I'm heading for bed early today. I'm tired and I didn't get my usual nap. The Beast should be home from church soon and I made a fresh pot of coffee for us. I know he'll want to chat when he gets home unless there's a basketball game with teams he likes....LOL.
Love you all. ***Hugs***
