Acorns from Field to Table, Part 1: FORAGING

I bet it's because you're closer to the equator and the light really doesn't change much throughout the year. Even though we've still had warm days in Missouri, there's only really daylight from 7am to 4:30pm right now. I'm still not used to so little sun, even though I used to live in Ohio, and the days were even shorter in the winter there.

Yes, that may be true. We have 12 to 12.5 hours of sunlight regardless f the time of the year. I used to miss the long summer nights but dreaded the winter when we got darkness b 3:30 or four o'clock.

We thought our hens had stopped laying due to hurricane Harvey -- haven't seen an egg since late August. The storm blew away our fences, so our free range birds became REALLY free range. Then, on Thanksgiving day, one of our girls brought home a bunch of young chicks, so now we know they apparently haven't really stopped laying, just relocated somewhat.

That's such a wonderful surprise! Certainly something to give thanks for. :)
