Valkyrie Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Anthony Worral (whatever he his) was on BBc radio Berkshire yesterday. He was singing the praises of having your own hens and he said that the best way was to have a really newly laid egg and while it is still warm, put butter over the shell. The butter melts and then you boil it. Apparently the egg is lovely and buttery. I was drooling while driving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Your boiled egg looks delicious. You've got an army of soldiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Your soft boiled egg looks delicious and loads of soldiers! That reminds me-i havent had one in over 25 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*mummy_hen* Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hehe - OH was laughing at your comments over the number of soldiers. It certainly was yummy and the little darlings have given us 3 more eggs this morning so could become a regular thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Before I kept chooks I would never have thought of a boiled egg and soldiers for breakfast. Now I consider it to be a real treat on sunday morning to have a fresh egg and soldiers and read the paper - yours looks fab. Yum - and they are so much nicer when they are fresh and you know who has laid them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
