Help My girls havent laid an egg yet but already a war is breaking out about who is going to have the first one I dont eat eggs so its between my husband, 3 daughters, 2 grand daughters and 3 grand sons Think I might just go and buy a dozen and secretly plant them How did you choose

I had it because they were my chooks and "Ooops, word censored!"ody else was interested in them. You could suggest baking a cake or muffins with the first egg/s and everyone could have some.

[Egluntyne]

Me!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

We shared our first egg, fried - one bite each (there's 4 of us, including 2 teenagers) .

[Mrs Webmuppet]

We saved up several eggs and made a cake so that everyone got some! Scurrys first egg made four breakfast pancakes this morning..........how democratic!

[Strepsy]

Hubby and 3 kids shared it scrambled. Silly me was too squeamish..

[hillfamily]

Me

[Clarabelle]

We waited until there were enough for all of us and then had them fried on toast. Don't put it in a cake, you won't be able to taste it like that!

Me as my chickens!

[Mutrix Farmers]

How did you choose

Druid

 

Son had it as he found it. It was also laid by "his" chicken although they are all technically mine as they were my birthday present from OH

[ajm200]

My baby son had it boiled with marmite toast.

 

It was so small that it was lost in the egg cup so only enough for him

[Stevie]

Me!!!

[hennymom]

would it be inappropriate for me with my first egg ever to say I would lke to blow it and keep it ... of course I'll eat the egg inside, it's only tiny but such a little miracle

lol... has anyone ever blown an egg from there hen or am I just sad...?

[Chickvic]

I've blown and kept the first eggs with the name, date and weight written on! We used the blown eggs too - amazing how much egg comes out My dad had just come out of hospital and we gave him the next 2 eggs...he was very impressed and said how lovely they were

[FruitandNutCake]

My eldest son (7) had the first 2 eggs - one for breakfast scrambled the second for lunch fried!

 

He has had most of them so far (he doesn't eat much else) so he has had them in an omlet and boiled. I made cake with them - but not chocolatey enough for him! So I've eaten half the cake today.

 

My little one (3) won't eat any yet (but he also won't eat much!)

[FruitandNutCake]

Forgot to say that I got the chickens for the boys - to encourage their understanding of where food comes from. My eldest is autistic, my youngest has severe developmental/speech and communication disorder and probably autistic, so I hope the chickens help them in one way or another!

 

That's why I let my eldest have the eggs first although I was dying to try them!
