DO you eat the....

Well I was curious
Did you eat your hens VERY 1st egg. I dont want to, since it may have issues. Did you eat yours?

(Reason for edit- I forgot my smiley at the end of the post)

Yep! MMMmmmmmm I wish I had blown it out though

Some, yes. Some, no. Depends WHERE they laid the egg, and what shape the shell is in.

Yep, ate it... right after I ran in the house, got the camera and took way too many pictures... of an egg! LOL, I was so excited, and it was so good.

I did, it was yummy, and very tiny.

NO WAY!! Don't you DARE eat it!!!

Send it over to me instead..

What "issues" could an egg have? Do you eat the first tomato to ripen on a plant? The first green beans to ripen? The first fruit to fall from a tree? Then why NOT eat a pullet's first egg?

Sheesh, after 20+ looooooooong weeks of feeding them, tending to their every need, cleaning up their poops, I'm all

when they lay their first egg and finally begin to earn their keep. Often I don't know it's a pullet's first egg if she's joined the main laying flock & begins adding her offerings to the collective nest boxes.

Sometimes a pullet's first egg will be streaked with blood on the OUTside, and that's how I can tell it's someone's first attempt. But I can just wash/wipe it clean and enjoy it as much as anyone else's egg.

Get that fry pan ready, start looking up egg-rich recipes!
