Earning their keep

The girls are producing! Today was the first day we received three eggs from three hens. We had been getting one or two each day, but I had only seen one hen for sure laying. Now we know they are all busy. If you have some great recipes involving eggs, please pass them on!

A funny aside: I remarked to Jeff how these eggs are slightly to somewhat smaller than the standard "large" eggs purchased in the store. I added that I would have to learn how to adapt them to recipes, and Jeff said "Just use more"!

I'm so excited to have brown eggs! I know all colors are equally nutritious, but
there is something so wholesome about pretty red hens laying lovely brown eggs.

    Awesome! Do you bake a lot? A LOT of baking recipes call for eggs! Also, omelettes each morning = mmmmmmmm....delish!
    And, yes, the blue, yellow, green and pink are nice, but the brown just screams REAL, HOME-GROWN CHICKEN EGGS!

    Also, congrats again on your 10th. Loved reading about your trip!

    Thanks Anna. I'm definitely a baker, but without a range right now, it's a bit difficult. I'll just have to be patient until the kitchen remodel!
