more and more eggs

Josue trying to catch a chicken

We are getting about 20 eggs a day. The kids love gathering the eggs and get excited every day to see how many eggs there are. Every week two different children are in charge of feeding and gathering the eggs.

Many times we find the food just thrown in the door or no water. The take sticks and such with them to scare off the chickens. Well one day last week Dorian was trying to show the kids the chickens will no do anything to you. So they all go in the coop with Dorian and just like he said they didn't do anything. Josue ran around trying to catch a chicken.
Josue is so use to seeing the others gather the eggs and he gets so excited and starts jumping and yelling EGGS , EGGS, EGGS. Well last week when we were picking and gathering beans, Jouse comes and says with excitement, look more eggs. I had to explain those were frijoles but he continued to smile and said look more eggs!!!

We are getting so many eggs we are now able to start selling them to our employees. We are selling them a little cheaper than what they can get them for any where else. So they are more than happy to buy them. Anything they can save means a lot to them and it all adds up.

Anyone have any advice of what to do to keep the chickens from eating the eggs. They pick at them till they break open and then eat the insides.
