I threatened the chickens this week.
I took the advice of a nice lady I met at a hops picking session last weekend. She's a Traverse City native who lives in the jungle of Costa Rica. She lives off her farm including roasting her own coffee and grinding her own chocolate so I figured she must know what she's talking about.
So I told them if we didn't see any eggs soon, we'd be eating chicken soup for dinner all winter long.
Joel is building egg boxes as we speak. So we'll see....
