So does my girl!! Comes running every time!! Hahaha, I love the sound of that pitter patter!!

I know! Gosh it is just so adorable! I get double the pitter patter! Since day one, they'd follow me around and make that noise with the webbies. It has only gotten louder as they have grown and gotten bigger!

Where, and how, do you store them all?

Never thought to save our first eggs. We ate them instead. SOOOOOO much better than store-bought.

well, i can store my eggs because i only have 6 chickens and 3 call ducks, after i empty them i let them out to dry for a day or 2, them i put them in this little case that has little shelves that hangs up on my wall, i have... 6 eggs in there now, i empty them by with a thumb tack or a needle i poke a hole in the top and the bottom, and i make the holes a little bigger and then i blow on the top till the egg it empty, then i rinse it out and let it dry. very simple!

Shells can also be dried, either naturally or in the oven, ground up and fed back to chickens and ducks! Great source of calcium!

I think I am going to do this! Thank you so much for the advice. I will save both my girls first egg shells. So sweet.

Thanks!

Grandson was here visiting. He was thrilled to eat it for breakfast.
