Here he is, Cedar Man Dan! Dan gave us all the cedar we used to build our chicken coop. And then he loaned us his live trap when we were trying to catch Sneaky Rocky. Dan's a great guy. Was he happy that I took his picture? No. Is he going to be happy when he sees it on the blog? Double no! Will I probably pay for this the next time we go camping? Yes. Oh well, it's worth it to have his picture on our blog!
I finally found an egg basket to hold our eggs. Isn't it adorable? Fifty cents at a local church sale last weekend; I was so geeked out when I saw it! This is just what I've been looking for. Jason said it would look better if the thing actually had eggs in it. Well, I agree, but the Girls are working on that.

So far, we get approximately 1-2 eggs every other day. Karana lays about 5 days a week. Copycat (that's what Emma used to call the chicken that copied everything Karana did) lays an egg every other day, sometimes every three days. And the other two Girls, what can I say? They're thinking about it. You can't rush into these things.
Want to play a little game? Each bowl has two beaten eggs. One bowl contains eggs from the store (Aldi's, to be exact) and one bowl contains city-fresh eggs from our Girls. Which is which? Can you tell? Leave a note on the blog with your guess, and in a few days, I'll give you the answer!
The Chicken Tenders
The city-fresh eggs are definitely on the left -- much yellower yolk!
ReplyDeleteI agree.. Home chickens are the yellower eggs on the left..much healthier! :)
ReplyDeleteAnne and Gretchen - Yup, you're right! It's amazing how much more yellow, sometimes almost orange, our Girls' eggs are than the ones from the store. The shells are much harder, too. Sometimes you can barely crack the eggs from their shell! Thanks for commenting on the game ;-)
