RE: Hello Steemit, I'm back, sort of
We're all good. Lots of good stuff going on. The chickens are fine, but slacking a bit on egg production.

My mother-in-law has some chickens in the back yard. They produced excellent eggs and three or four chicks while I was there :-)
They didn't make it as the mother got a bit weird about it and stomped on them.
But home laid eggs were a big improvement over supermarket eggs.
We don't have a cockerel, so we don't get chicks. Generally we expect each chicken to lay an egg each day, but only 2 are laying recently. The others seem okay. It may be the recent hot weather. I think we are doing well in having all 4 survive for over 3 years. Our previous batch did not do as well.
