I don’t know how we got here…

But I’m not mad about it! More daylight hours = back up to regular egg production for the chickens AND our ducks started laying (top of second pic)!

I freeze dried 5 dozen eggs this weekend to store for the winter.. but I’m still trying to convince hubby to build a farmstand to sell some eggs and other things we grow.

2025/3/24 Edited to

As seasons change, many backyard chicken and duck owners face variations in egg production. More sunlight not only encourages hens to lay more eggs but also provides vital nutrients for their growth. If you've noticed a drop in egg production during winter, consider investing in light modules that simulate natural sunlight. Freeze drying eggs is an excellent way to store them for longer periods while retaining nutritional value. Make sure to follow proper freeze-drying techniques to prevent spoilage. If you're seriously considering a farmstand, assess your local market demand. Engaging with your community through social media and local events can help generate interest in your farm-fresh eggs. Don't forget to explore regulations for selling eggs in your area to ensure compliance. Joining forums related to backyard chickens and ducks, as well as homestead living, can also provide you with valuable insights and support from other enthusiasts. These discussions will help you gather tips on maximally utilizing your space and resources, enhancing both your flock's productivity and overall homesteading experience.
