Great under this circumstances with Covid restrictions. We are grateful to have enough space In the house and the garden. We can go outside whenever we want in the Netherlands as long as we keep a distance to other people. The chickens are happy bc they can free range every day now. And they lay more eggs than we can eat.

Another cluckmazing fact: in 2020 there is a huge increase of backyard-chickens and BYC members.

So, a wee factie I thought ya'll might find interesting as I have found all those posted before it...

The egg fast (eggfast?) reminded me... For some reason I was looking up nutrients in eggs and I found this--> Egg Nutrients is the link to see the whole article, but I copy/pasted the intro below for convenience' sake:

NUTRIENTS IN EGGS
Eggs are a nutrient goldmine!
One large egg has varying amounts of 13 essential vitamins and minerals, high-quality protein, all for 70 calories.
While egg whites contain some of the eggs’ high-quality protein, riboflavin and selenium, the majority of an egg’s nutrient package is found in the yolk. Nutrients such as:

• Vitamin D, critical for bone health and immune function. Eggs are one of the only foods that naturally contain vitamin D.
• Choline, essential for normal functioning of all cells, but particularly important during pregnancy to support healthy brain development of the fetus.
• Lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that are believed to reduce the risk of developing cataracts and slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration, a disease that develops with age.

I spent all kinds of money on fancy eye vitamins the ophthalmologist said my mom needed. Ha! Guess what's in 'em? Lutein and zeaxanthin. I'm willing to bet the doc did not know this. Also vitamin D. D3 is fairly cheap, but eating an egg or three is SO much more tasty. So enjoy your pretty girls and also the eggs they give you--guilt-free.
