Our experiment was not successful. My broody Australorp decided she had enough for being cooped up, pardon the pun, and went for a walk about. She abandoned the eggs, including the duck egg, she had under her for about 20 days. It just was not meant to be. She is back to laying delicious eggs and sales are doing great. The last time I counted our fund we already met my goal of $150 and we still have lots of year left. Way to go girls!Speaking of good causes...have you heard of Empty Bowls? Wikipedia has it defined as “Empty Bowls” is an international project to fight hunger, personalized by artists and art organizations on a community level". If you Google it you will find lots of local Empty Bowls events. This is a great way to do something small and make a big difference. The Oregon Potters Association is a good example of a group of artists raising money for the hungry. Their event happens in conjunction with the Waterfront Blues Festival every year. Take a look around for these events in your area.
Spread the word, spread the love and Be A Good Egg!!!
-The showcased chicken today is Stacey. She is an '05 Araucana that likes to make a lot of noise, but is a consistant layer, even after all these years.

Chickens and charity are a good combination. Have a look at www.beagoodegg.com to find out how chickens are lifting children out of poverty across the world.
Good luck with your flock,
