feemcg Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 After a week of chicken keeping we've had 6 eggs - 5 smallish ones and 1 huge! Yesterday I had 2 scrambled which were lovely and today I told wee Anna to come home for lunch and she could have the biggie as I suspected it would be a double yoker. Sure enough I boiled it and cut it open for her to see - and it was a doubler.She had it mashed up with butter and loved it. How cool that she can go back to school now having eaten her own chickens egg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Not many things can make you feel as good as eating lovely fresh eggs laid by your own happy chooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 do they taste better than shop bought?! I cant wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think they taste better - a kind of mellow,earthy flavour - hard to describe but you'll see what I mean. I also think they smell different too - crazy I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 not crazy at all. I find that our girl's eggs have lovely deep yellow yolks and lovely firm clear whites and they taste really eggy - if you know what I mean. Once hyou have had your chooks eggs you will find it difficult to go back to shop bought eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think they smell different too - crazy I know! No your not crazy at all. Just think how they have been produced. Fabulous free ranging chooks will give them flavour of earth worm and slug and the delectable smell of of snail and wood lice, Mmmmm YUM To say nothing of the occasional frog.

Mel (& Paul) Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I'm with you there - and in fact I have problems with any eggs unless I know the name of the chicken who has laid it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
