Scrambled our first 5 and had them with morel mushrooms frozen this past Spring. Morels and scrambled eggs has always been a favorite meal, made even more so with our first eggs.

I have about 2-3 months before I expect my girls to lay their first eggs.

When I do get the first, It is either over easy, or going strait into a glass with some hot sauce and salt and pepper and will be drank as a raw egg shooter.

Either way I'm sure  it will be worth the wait and effort thumbsup.gif

I was just as curious to see the inside as the out, over easy was how I had my pullets very first egg

Very cool reminds me of being a kid and the fun of collecting the egss and then eating them ;-) still just as exciting and fun!

We are saving them up until we have enough for a nice spinach, swiss, and mushroom omelet! I figure that the first dozen or so costs about $50.00 each!

Ha! It's amazing how we all try to save money on coops and stuff but when you figure it out, how much those eggs really cost us!

Those are nice looking eggs for first eggs!  I still only have one.  I'm patiently waiting for more, but I can't wait to open it up and see how it looks!

But the one you got  was fantastic! Our chickens started to lay on Monday. We have one almost medium Buff Orp egg and three very small RIR eggs. If we stay on the current schedule we should have two eggs tomorrow. I am really looking forward to seeing the eggs our  Moran and  Wellsummer lay!

I got another one today.  It was smaller and much darker.  A beautiful dark brown.  I have not taken a picture of it yet.

Strange thing.  It had a hole in it, so I probably won't use it.
