Update on egg sales from Tahsis Farm

Hey folks,
Update on the chickens themselves in case you haven't come up in a while: We have two pens with about 15 birds in each. One pen is road island reds, they are 2.5 years old which is ancient in the chicken world. Still they produce between 8 and 13 eggs a day. The other pen is Barred Rocks. They have some bad habits (pecking at each other and each others eggs) and produce about 8-12 eggs a day, but often have destroyed a few before we can get to them.
SO we've ordered 40 layers and they will arrive around the 25th. We'll be butchering our currents hens (anyone want to buy a stewing chicken?) and will have a whole new flock by the end of September. These will be a different breed (high line browns) who are great layers. So there you have it... we'll be limping along for another week or so, have about a week of adjustment while the ladies get used to their new home, and then be back in the eggs the beginning of October
Thanks for bearing with us as we refresh our flock and as we try a different sales approach Once we are settled up with you all we'll be doing first come first serve on Sundays. By the sounds of it, with changes at the farm the subscription system won't be possible until we have someone here at the farm on a more consistent basis who can commit to managing accounts.
