The Culmination of Effort, Heartache, and a High-Protein Crumble Feed

Just over a week ago, on the last day of July, one chicken laid an egg. As all the books told me, it was right smack-dab on week 18 for the three sex-linked chickens. Since then, six more have been laid, as the birds grow into their laying phase.

Of course, given my current work situation, as soon as these things started popping out and I could eat backyard-fresh eggs, I find myself back in Ireland for two weeks. Word across the pond says that my tomatoes are coming into their own as well. The peppers and eggplant are making a showing, too.

Stay away from trouble, chicks, and I'll be back home soon.

Yours always.
