You're right, the yolks are thicker & harder to get off the plate. I've been eating them most of the week (making up for lost time) & I think they're a little richer too. The other day my youngest ordered "fried chicken eggs" for breakfast. I knew what she meant, but it just sounded so weird...
Congrats Debs Flock on your girls laying & LadyIsadora being able to enjoy yours again! I think what you guys have is contagious... Its called Obsessive Eggalovitis Disorder & I'm pretty sure I have it now too.
Its been over a month since Mako laid her 1st egg, but its been way too hot here...
I'm actually blown away that she's laid every day since she started. Its always first thing in the morning & in the nest. Its so bizarre, because my chickens have never done that. The chickens start in the morning, then lay later everyday until they finally take a day off.
Not Mako... That ducks...
Thanks everybody for the compliments on Miss Mako Mori. She's laid everyday, but the eggs are starting to get really small, like chicken size. I think she needs a vacation.
LadyIsadora - What does a duck egg intolerance look like? Ill? Rash? Not trying to be nosy, just curious.
Oh that's the worst! Your poor mom. She was probably traumatized for life after that. I've been lucky that my kids have missed most of my bigger blunders ... so far.
Thank you for acknowledging my newly acquired professionalism. I'm going to try to apply this new talent to other areas of my life ... I need all the professional help I can get. Hahaha!
I know that is not funny.... BUT THAT IS SO FUNNY!!! I wont even tell you about the poor little guys I've killed on accident. Suffice it to say, its not easy being the adult in the house... Most days I'm sure I'm not qualified for the job.
I cant believe how dense I am sometimes. It reminds me of the time one of my kids told me our fish had died. I was crazy-busy & just glanced over at the tank & said, "Don't worry, I'm sure he's just shedding." A few minutes later, when my brain caught up with what my mouth had said, I had the...
My Swedish Blue laid her 1st egg today. What a TOTAL SURPRISE! My calculations say she's only 5mo so we didn't expect an egg for at least another month. We were staring at it & tapping it like a bunch of Neanderthals looking at fire. It was just SO unexpected that we couldn't process what we...
