DO you eat the....

There is nothing gonna be wrong with the early eggs that is a health threat, they just have a higher chance of being a little odd (no yolk, meat spots, etc) although plenty of them are normal.

And the chance of these things in the *first* egg is no higher IME than the chance of 'em in the *second* egg

I don't eat really weird eggs with rubbery or membranous shells, and I don't bother with the tiny little 'wind eggs'; but I honestly cannot see any reason not to eat basically-plausible-looking pullet eggs in general.

We blew out our very first (tiny) egg and scrambled the inner goodness. Four of us shared it, each getting about half a bite a piece. But since none of us have ever sampled fresh, home-grown eggs before no one wanted to be left out.

The shell rests in an egg basket given to me by my mama.

When my first egg comes, NOBODY and I mean NOBODY! Better be in my way to the stove!
I have been heating up the pan for 15 weeks.

I can't WAIT to get my first egg from the freeloading girls! I'm going to blow them out and scramble the egg up then use nail polish to harden the shell and save it. Eeeee I can't wait....

Oh for crying out loud. Did ya dump your first kid cause he might have issues? Throw out the first chicken you butchered cause it was practice?? Crack it in a bowl. Bet it look just like an egg only smaller. Eat it! Enjoy!
