Surfnirvana Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Fab news Dawn! congratulations on having your first egg. Such a moment of wonder - and they are so perfect too!! We've only had our ladies for 6 weeks and we are getting 2- 3 eggs a day now - I love it. Trouble is, I seem to be getting rather a lot of egg requests from family & friends, so haven't eaten many. Probably just as well or our cholesterol level will be sky high otherwise! How many chooks do you have? What are they like? Anyway, glad to hear that you are enjoying them! xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Congratulations on your first egg! Probably just as well or our cholesterol level will be sky high otherwise! Please don't worry about eggs affecting your cholesterol levels! Eating cholesterol in the form of eggs is much less harmful than the cholesterol created by eating saturated fats.

jak Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi Dawn - we keep ours in the fridge - we keep them for about a week because they don't last any longer than that before being eaten! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluckbok Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Congrats on your first egg, how eggciting!! Hope you get more tomorrow. P.S. Hi ya Jak, You don't have to keep the eggs in the fridge if you don't want to. They really are the freshest eggs we will ever eat so they won't go off very quick at all. We keep ours on a rack on a shelf in the kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I agree - but we keep them in the fridge to keep them safe! (from marauding children, cats and dog) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
