Many times I wonder if I’ve outlived my useful years?<\/p>\n
You know …<\/p>\n
The times when I felt on the top of my game physically, and mentally.\u00a0 The times when I felt like I really had something going for me.<\/p>\n
And now – so many different things have started to fail, and not work, the way I always expected them to.<\/p>\n
Have you ever felt that way?<\/p>\n
Well … If not, enjoy your ride, because it could be coming.<\/p>\n
If so – then you know exactly what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n
And unfortunately, hens also reach a similar point in their lives.<\/p>\n
When?<\/p>\n
Well, they stop laying eggs at about 2 years of age, or so.\u00a0 And most people are pretty much done with paying for the feed of an animal that isn’t providing something back to their family.<\/p>\n
So – I just wanted to write and suggest that you think about this possibility before you jump in with both feet – and get a gigantic flock of hens.<\/p>\n
Know this … Eventually they’re NOT going to give you eggs.\u00a0 What will you do with them then?<\/p>\n
Just a thought to help make things a little clearer for you.<\/p>\n
