We had a delightful couple stay with us at Manderley Bed & Breakfast. They are from Southern Lake County Indiana and told me an amazing chicken story. At their highest point in chicken egg production they had 1,800 chickens! Phyllis and Garry had their Leghorns in long rows and collected the eggs in giant metal egg baskets. It took about 2 1/2 hours per day to get them ready for the market. In their basement of their 1860's farmhouse they had a washing, candeling and sorting station. They packed the eggs and drove them to the store, what a treat to get such fresh eggs from Rosenthal Valley Farms!
