Welcome to my new blog!  I live in the beautiful state of West Virginia, (no not western Virginia), yes there really is a state named West Virginia.  You would never believe the people that don't know that!  I am the almost 50 year old wife, mother, grandmother, who is really enoying life.  I homeschool my youngest son, and everyday is an adventure with him.  We use different textbooks for homeschooling as this is what he prefers.  I would love to use unit studies, but that frustrates him.  I am sure that you are wondering about planting eggs.  Well, I have had chickens for about 9 months and love them.  I only have about 12 and they are different varieties.  Well, I went out to gather eggs the other day and found 3 hens sitting on the same nest,  trying to hatch the same 3 eggs.  My husband had read somewhere that if you put golf balls in the other nests, they would think they were eggs and lay with the golf balls.  He found several golf balls and put two in diffent nests....we couldn't wait to see if "planting eggs" worked.  Several days later the hens are still using the same nest...and there is nothing growing in the other nests, but golf balls.
