The Chickens are finally earning their keep around here. Aside from eating the bugs from the yard (which is nice) they have kicked up the egg production. I think they are supposed to lay one a day once they get into full fledged egg production. Yesterday we got 8 (we have 8 hens) so I think we are getting close.
Having that many eggs around has spurred us on to eating more eggs. I am looking for egg eating ideas, as I think fried and scrambled eggs may get old. So PLEASE, if you have a good way to eat eggs, leave me a comment (or send me an email) to let me know.
Also if you live in the area, and would like some fresh free range eggs, let me know. :)
Two of the hens are bantams and lay smaller eggs. Two others are Ameaucanas, and lay blueish greenish eggs.
Really, who knew eggs could be so exciting?

Eight eggs a day! That would feed almost a third of my family for breakfast! Quiche and omelets come to mind. Baking takes lots of eggs, especially in quadrupled recipes. You can hard boil them for salads, snacks, or sandwiches, too! Chickens definitely qualify as practical pets!

you could make egg custard... pies... pot pie (home made pie crust needs eggs :) ), flan!! That takes LOTS of eggs.. :D
