When they say Texas is hot, BOY do they mean it. 
I can't get anything done around here because the heat hits me upside my head with its obnoxiousness.
But, thankfully, my hens will still lay eggs in this heat.
Typically, hens lay less eggs in hotter months.
However, we have been collecting 8-10 eggs per day from our 12 hens.
Most of our eggs are brown.
But, the Araucanas lay a most beautiful blue Easter egg.
True farm raised, free range chicken eggs are not even the same product as their grocery store cousins.  The yolk is so yellow it's orange.  The flavor is richer and yummier. They even bake better.
