how many eggs do you eat? vs. how many you sell/give away?

Been getting about 6-8 eggs a day for the past 3 months. And haven't ate a fresh one in about that long. Selling them as fast as the girls lay em.

Oh my gosh, do they ever!!

I honestly don't think I could go back to store-bought, they're so bland and flavorless. backyard eggs are soooo good!

hope it won't be long till you can see for yourself

a year ago when are first ever chickens started laying I had a hard time forcing my self to try them. Or course I told no one of this so my kids were all for eating our fresh eggs. IDK I had this mental block about farm fresh eggs. NOW I can't even eat a store bought egg. with that said we have 40+ chickens some of which are just starting to lay. right now we're getting around 14 eggs a day. Every morning I make something that has to do with eggs (eggs, french toast, pancakes) we have 7 people in our family and we still have eggs coming out of our ears. but we sell eggs to our parents, neighbors, pastor, friends, brothers.... you name it. when I start getting to much I just post it on Facebook and all of a sudden I'm out in the coop squeezing a chicken for more eggs.

(I'm kidding about squeezing a chicken, relax!) although I did joke to my kids about going outside to squeeze a chickens cause I needed another egg. They just looked at me like " REALLY?!"

it was to funny.

BSH (bigsprings) you need more hens!!
BBM (Boo Boos mama) that is wonderful that your hubby can eat eggs. that is wierd

My DH had given up eating eggs, but now he has eggs every day he is home (works 4 days away from home/then home 4 days). For me it is milk...for the last year I suddenly am having problems when I drink milk. I wish I could get fresh raw milk to see if I would have a problem with it. I think they are adding something to make it whiter; I've noticed the glass has a white stain I have to scrub off. I drank fresh raw milk in my childhood and when my children were young we bought fresh milk from a dairy; love to skim the cream off and make butter

You may have to get a cow now!

Is that "white stain" cream, Maybe? and I want to make butter. I have to buy the cream from the store to make some.​

No way the white stain is cream. I know cream when I see it. I read somewhere that they are thinning the milk so they have to add a whitener to it, otherwise it would look too 'watery'. Don't know if that is true.

I don't think I will be able to talk DH into a cow...I hit him up for a dairy goat but that was a no go. We just have a small city lot
