Dear Customers,

We sheared the 12 sheep for the fair today. Unfortunately 2 of these sheep have large black spots, making them not showable. Luckily we had extras ready.

We apologize for the lack of eggs, however, we will be handling the problem very soon. As soon as our meat chickens go out to the fair, we will have room to raise new laying hens. Please let us know if you would like to buy some and we will raise them for you. The cost for a laying hen at 16 weeks is $14.

I will be auctioning off my meat chickens at the Geauga County Fair on Saturday, August 30th. I only have a couple of buyers for now and just one or two more would mean a lot. If you can’t personally make it out to the fair, my parents can bid for you. Please email me if you are interested. They are really growing nicely and should be quite tasty.

Fun Fact: Female chickens are called pullets for their first year or until they begin to lay eggs. For most breeds, around 16 to 22 weeks is a typical age for the first egg.

Thanks,

Harry and Lauren Hawkes
