Our BCM graced us with a very noisy day prior to leaving us with this beauty in the nesting box . Our Ameracauna's first eggs were half this size.... No wonder she was loud!!! I am guessing they will even up in color as everything gets working better for her. I can't imagine them getting bigger though!!

I think I'd be noisey if I was about to lay an egg that big, too. OUCH!

Custard is easy peasy! Starting out, use the following recipe. If your custard cups are large and will hold more, you can add another egg and/or some more milk (1/3 - 1/2 C). It's not sensitive to amounts.

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a saucepan, heat 2 C milk to scalding (hot but not boiling). In a batter bowl or 4 C measuring cup (something with a lip for pouring), beat 2 eggs with a whisk or fork. Add 1/2 C sugar, 1/2 tsp. good Vanilla (not imitation), and just a small pinch of salt. Stir in well. Slowly (so the eggs don't scramble) add scaled milk and blend all well.

Place 4 custard cups in a shallow pan of hot water that comes about 1/3 -1/2 way up the cups. Pour custard into custard cups. Dust tops with freshly grated nutmeg (optional). Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

This is a really good recipe to try for lots of eggs too. It takes a little more effort, but it will knock your socks off!

Coconut Flan
Ingredients for 8 servings:

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 can (14 ounces) NESTLÉ LA LECHERA Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 5 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract
• Whipped cream
• Toasted flaked sweetened coconut

Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 350° F.
HEAT sugar in small, heavy-duty saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes or until dissolved and caramel-colored. Pour onto bottom of 9-inch-round cake pan; quickly swirl around bottom to coat.
PLACE coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs and coconut extract in blender; cover. Blend for 5 seconds. Pour into prepared pan; cover lightly with foil. Place pan in large roasting pan; fill roasting pan with warm water to about 1-inch depth.
BAKE for 1 hour, 25 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Remove flan from water. Cool on wire rack. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

I got my first egg yesterday. It is a tiny little green egg. I have it next to a medium store bought egg for comparison! LOL I'm not sure which hen did the deed, but my girl Carol was acting a bit strange yesterday, so I am thinking it was her. I was so excited to find this in the box and was so careful not to drop it. Its a good thing there was no one around with a camera. LOL
