What came first? The chicken or the egg? In this story it was definitely the egg. Good friend and kindergarten teacher Tisha Vanderweil has a magic formula for producing farm fresh eggs. I just love all animals but I think chickens are particularly acute they have such cute little personalities. Now that we have a farm we have room to have them. We eat a ton of eggs to so it is beneficial to our family and I would rather have farm fresh eggs than buy them at the store. Where did you get your starter chickens? I teach kindergarten and so every year I go to Dunlap Hatchery and I get the eggs and we put them in an incubator and we catch them in my kindergarten class. I have had to give them to parents before. Whenever we catch the chicks I had to give them away but now that I have a farm I get to keep them. I understand that you put in some sort of herbal mix. It is called a nesting box blend that I got from this company online. It is a totally organic herb mix and I put a teaspoon in each of their little nesting boxes. We were getting 8 to 10 eggs per day and after I put the herbs in there we got 12 eggs in the first day, 14 the next day and 17 the next. It’s supposed to make the hens calm.
