I guess you have never tried to gather eggs from thousands of free ranging chickens? How much extra are you willing to pay for the eggs?

I think that is the Flood Building in San Francisco.
Thank you. Without straying too far from motivational content; I remember your twins must be long past their NICU days by this point. Both doing well?
@Anb618 - if anyone doesnt think babies and proud parents are motivational they can go choke on a donut.
Blessings from God are hugely motivational.
@gunjunkie45 - we could use another pic, HINT.

One in the safe from Dad. Was stolen from him about 25 years ago by "friends" of my nephew and spent a winter on the train tracks near his house in Maine along with a S&W perfected and Colt OMT. I had all 3 restored to the best they could be, but at best they are "shooter" grade. Shame, the Lahti is an interesting pistol to shoot and surprisingly accurate, even with its mile-long trigger.
Babies and titties do go hand in hand.
Kinda redundant.
Unless she is a GF hoping for a Holiday season proposal.
Then she is probably doing the perfect alarm clock a couple times a week and making amazing dinners.

Let us know when those are for your enjoyment again.
See ya in a year or so.
Even my female friends are twisted and the woman who sent this to me is a shrink. 
I have a staff of hundreds who spend all day following the chickens around with a little pillow and a roll of toilet paper.
Seriously. Thanks for asking.
Gathering eggs for dozens of hens (me) is the same for hundreds or thousands of birds (my friends). I have had good luck using rollaway roost boxes attached to the portable coops to collect the eggs. It also helps keep the hens from getting broody. Here is an example:

The chickens prefer to lay their eggs in quiet, dark places and if you provide that for them they will happily reward you by laying their eggs right where you want them to.
I don’t buy eggs. I sell them and charge $5/dozen. It takes about 10-15 minutes a day to care for the flock and I have more orders than eggs each week. In fact, I am giving serious thought to doubling the size of my laying flock in the spring.
I will be adding more Bielefelders as they work well for me here in VA. This is my breeding rooster:

He is a badass.
Overall the key is space and stress management. Enough space for each chicken means happy, healthy chickens and awesome eggs and meat.
i like the nesting box...
we sell our eggs, here in the tampa bay area at 4.50 a dozen, and cant keep up w demands
Pro tip: if you distract the cashier long enough you can snip the wires to individual letters on the sign.
Both boys are doing great! Welcome to the club.
