Marsha (small white) and Cranberry (large green) started laying again today. Yay! Our bantam hen Nugget is the only slacker, but she lays such tiny eggs it’s easy to forgive. I had to buy a half dozen eggs last week and was not happy about it. I refused to use them for anything but baking. We’re definitely spoiled with our freshly laid eggs. When we lived in a suburb of Raleigh, NC our homeowners association had a bylaw that said no backyard chickens. We laughed about that for many years as we certainly had no intention of raising chickens at the time. Now I can’t imagine life (at least breakfast) without them.
Thanks, Ladies

lol, egg snobbery. I can’t blame you though. On my trip last week the food I was most excited about was the farm fresh eggs they served me at breakfast. Most people don’t know what they’re missing!
