Laying Hens (eggs)

stage 1 of the egg mobile

 

Stage 1; building and naming an egg mobile

This is the frame work of an old cauliflower harvesting wagon that we purchased in Quebec. We are retrofitting it to hold 500 laying hens that will arrive on the farm May 1st. These very lucky birds will move with this wagon throughout the farm, providing them with fresh pasture, adding fertility and giving us a steady crop of hen fruit. We have always named our tractors and farm vehicles. If you have a good idea for a name feel free to submit it here on the web site. If we choose your name you'll win a 20 week egg share. The contest ends May 1st when the birds arrive so don't hesitate.
