Observations about farm fresh (well...technically...city fresh) eggs versus store bought eggs:
- The shells are much harder to crack.
- The yolks are very yellow.
- The taste is richer.
Yesterday we had a small incident; one Girl flew the coop! It was completely operator error. I left the henhouse door open. Oops! It was only for a second. I turned to get my little rake and when I turned back around, I saw the escapee. Since the dogs were out, I quickly coaxed them in the house before they had a chicken snack, then I ran back out and tricked my escapee in the henhouse with some food. Too bad I didn't have a camera. What a sight, three chickens inside staring at the one outside trying to figure out how that happened!
Happy Labor Day,
The Chicken Tenders
Hooray for your home-grown eggs! What adventures you're having with your ladies! I'm catching up and had to read every word. Whatever happened to Rocky Raccoon?
ReplyDeleteHi Peggy! We never caught Rocky Raccoon. We spotted him a few more times and that was it. I don't know if he met with a tragic fate, or just found something easier to eat somewhere else. Thanks for checking up on the Girls ~ I know you've been busy with your kids and grandkids and upcoming conference!
