I have a confession to make

[lowry075]

Gertie- don't feed them to your birds. If you don't want to eat them sell or give them to your friends or neighbors. Maybe after you hear them talk about how good they are, you'll get over your mental roadblock. They really ARE better than the ones from the store.

Watch a youtube video of how "store bought" eggs are produced and sent to the store at many weeks old. It just may help.....

I thought they would fill my void with the empty nest syndrome. And for eggs. And they are fun.

I plan on trying them this week . I have 3 days off, I wil come up with something. I am sure I will get over it , I am just being , I don't know . I will muster up the courage lol maybe it is seeing all the wild stuff on BYC and hearing all the weird stories and seeing an egg, inside an egg , inside an egg LOL

I haven't eaten mine yet either but, I only have 5! I am kind of cherishing them right now but, I plan to eat them when I get over all the photo ops!

Maybe start by putting them in something else, like baking, where you can't neccesarily discern the actual egg. Gradually work up to eating eggs on their own.

OMG!! Chicken porn!! I'll share that with my husband, he's always making "cock" jokes about our roos. Terrible!! But it makes me laugh

I have to be careful about posting comments about the chickens on my facebook page. My DH makes lewd comments for the world to see, lol.

Were the chickens on the farm you grew up on well-cared-for? Perhaps if they were not kept as pets, you may remember
elements of their care that you might connect with the eggs being not-so-attractive . . .
or perhaps this is the first time in your life you have a real relationship with the living creatures that provide your food.
Either way you sound like a really sensitive, caring person . . . but keep in mind that the egg is not itself a living creature,
just the raw materials that allow another creature to flourish. That creature might be a chick if the egg were fertilized, or
it can just as well be you, since you provide the care that allows the hen to produce that egg. I sometimes hesitate to
use my eggs only because I find them so beautiful, it seems a shame to break them open! That's why I have almost
3 dozen in the fridge right now. But there's a quiche in my future!

This topic is funny because it's happening in my house too. I can't eat eggs. Allergic... My daughter goes through phases of scrambled eggs but hasn't been interested lately. My hubby thinks it's absolutely disgusting to eat one of "our" eggs. At first he said it was because they were brown - I buy brown free range eggs from the grocery store - that didn't fly with me. Then he said because it came out of their butts, it was gross. We only have about 6 eggs right now as two of my three girls just started laying last week. I haven't had an opportunity to use them yet. I'm thinking I'll have to "break" him in on pancakes or something. LOL!!! I'm raising these chickens as "pets with perks". They are a riot and I truly enjoy them following me around the yard like dogs.
