Our chickens have been pretty busy since our "first egg" post. The first egg was very petite...but check out this line up.
The white egg is a standard large egg from the store. The egg on the right is the size of a first laid egg and the huge egg at the left is something we get every 3 days or so. It's gotta hurt coming out! It's usually a double yoker.
One of my favorite breakfasts as a kid was called Chicken in a Barnyard. You cut a hole in the middle of a piece of bread on a fry pan. Crack an egg into the hole and the bread toasts while the egg fries. Then, after you eat the toast and the egg, use the middle toast portion to sop up all the yummy egginess.
So now we get about 6-8 eggs a day! We have over 3 dozen right now. I think it's safe to start giving some away. Who wants eggs?
Oh, yeah, and we don't just grow food either. Check out these beautiful roses I cut from our rose bushes. A beautiful, fragrant centerpiece for our Easter table.
I am going to have to try this Chicken in a Barnyard dish for Asher...he LOVES eggs and eats them every morning. What a great idea. Miss you guys and I love your blog!!
ReplyDeleteWe call them "Egg in a Nest" and they were my kids' favorite breakfast! Look at your beautiful eggs! No need for egg coloring, the chickens did it for you. You live a very elegant life in Surburbia with those beautiful roses.
ReplyDeleteHoly eggness! There is a lady here in ithaca that sales her extra eggs from her chickens. An easy way to make a little cash.
