Baking chocolate chip cookies right now, sugar cookie dough is chilling in the fridge since yesterday, ready to roll. I still need to get some ingredients for some of the other kinds.

Just a side note - we had to buy some eggs from the store, as most of our ladies had been molting and have not yet started laying again, and the pullets are not quite ready to lay yet, so we have very few "home grown" eggs to work with at the moment. When I cracked open the store bought eggs, I was reminded how pale and anemic they look compared to eggs from free range chickens. It sure makes you appreciate the eggs you get from your own hens!

I'm having to go with the store bought eggs now too...just not getting enough from my 5 girls (maybe 1 or 2 a day). Those store bought eggs sure make you appreciate the backyard variety!

My girls are starting to lay again, 4 eggs yesterday from 6 hens. I put them in the carton with the last of the store bought ones. The fresh ones are HUGE!
I will need more hens - 4 eggs is breakfast here, hard to build up a supply for cooking when we eat them all for breakfast, lol

It must be the "time of the year"....I purchased store eggs today too.
My hens are NOT laying 7. I had Dr. Whitings given to us...and they
were laying tons of eggs....BUT IT WAS A HIGH PRICE TO PAY...THEY
DESTROYED OUR COOP....POOP IN EVERYTHING. We returned them to the gal that gave them to us. She neglected to tell us...that was the reason she was looking for a new home for them....they are THE MESSY MESSY breed of birds we have ever met. Aria

For some reason, I thought you had way more chickens...

We're also buying eggs...

Dr. Bramwell must have bred that out of them--The Blue egg layers I have are not like that. They are human avoid-ant though.

I am getting 2 eggs a day from my five hens. Three pita pinta ad two hatched from Trader Joes eggs
