There’s been a lot about tea and not much about chickens on this blog recently, so here is some chicken info.  Our flock is now at 39 hens, and laying around 13 eggs a day.  That’s not great, but – they are getting older, so it’s expected.  Many of them have now definitely crossed the line from livestock to pets, especially the barred rock Ophelia and several of the Buff Orpingtons.
