They do go through cycles of when they quit laying. Right now we are blessed to have more than enough and are selling enough to pay for their feed, trading some for fresh milk and having plenty of eggs on hand for our use.<br /><br />As far as simplifying goes...I just said NO to all outside activities except music lessons! We don't do electronic games and such in the house so the kids have lots of time for practicing piano/violin, cooking, drawing, reading and working. Our lifestyle has changed so much now that we are really trying to homestead and we have much to do on a daily basis.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443223419294735273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-86906690401432227622011-12-16T09:35:09.050-06:002011-12-16T09:35:09.050-06:00Anita, you are a fantastic grandmother! What grea...Anita, you are a fantastic grandmother! What great memories you are making for your little children and grandchildren....and what an example you are setting for Lauren! <br /><br />Do your chickens slack off laying in cooler weather? The teenage boy that lives across the highway from us raises chickens. For almost a year now I have been buying 2 dozen eggs a week from him, but in the last month, he said they have stopped laying! He said he would let me know when they started laying again. I had to start buying eggs from Kroger, and those cage free eggs are $3 a dozen!!!<br /><br />I am already thinking ahead to the next year and even the next holiday season, and I have one word stuck in my mind: Simplify! I am going to spend some time rereading your blog if I ever get some downtime to see if you have any suggestions for simplifying life in general......feel free to blog about that if you want! Ha!<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Roanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267573890805062760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-54751241642206933632011-12-15T10:27:31.035-06:002011-12-15T10:27:31.035-06:00I am a new follower and love your blog!

All I can see within the blog post is a small rectangle. <br /><br />I will be starting to homeschool my 7 year old in January and I am trying to read up as much as I can to see how to go about it. This will be a "trial run" to see how it all goes. If everything runs smoothly and Garry learns plenty my husband may let me continue on with it!HeatherQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038581011974128459noreply@blogger.com
