Congrats on your first green egg! I want some of those too... but for now we just have brown and cream.

Probably just 2 more months give or take a few days! I know the wait seems long, but then there that egg will be!

Thanks to all of you for your comments and congratulations! Even though I read more than I post, I really enjoy the board here and enjoy seeing all your pictures and reading all your knowledge!

Silly question here, but are the yolks and whites the same as other eggs? The black skin thing got me wondering.

Yes, they are just the same... yellow yolk and white, very tasty.

The yolk is actually a good size, but the over all egg size is small.
