Egg factory, fun with Ring
The egg production at home has really been ramping up. Yesterday Cindy collected a half dozen eggs, a new record. We will soon be running into storage issues so Cindy’s egg business needs to get off the ground soon. It’s amazing that these big birds are the same creatures we held in the palms of our hands 6 months ago. Both Cindy and I find simple enjoyment just watching the hens explore the yard. They are so funny.
Since most of the birds are now laying they also have become much easier to hold and pet. When you extend your hand out many of them immediately squat down and freeze, a reflex reaction they would normally do for a rooster. Instead it allows Cindy to pet them pretty much endlessly.
In addition to the fresh egg business Cindy has been producing custom cool race belts for a few weeks. She has given a few away but hopes to start selling them for a very small profit. She has been having a lot of fun scoring incredible deals bidding on custom ribbon on Ebay to be used for the belts.
We also have been having fun with our new Ring doorbell. Yesterday Cindy spotted the UPS guy on the device while she was out and was able to even thank him as he walked away, remotely. Last night she intended to try to scare me using the Ring but was unsuccessful. The good news is it was captured on video.
