Hey all, the gigantic egg was a gorgeous double yolker. It made a lovely two egg omelet this morning. The craziest thing is whoever laid that egg yesterday also laid a normal size one today. You gotta love the consistency of a leghorn. The only reason I have three BLHs is the feed store person made a mistake in identifying them (I thought I was buying EE babies). I was terribly disappointed when I finally figured it out (you know, I have the blue/green egg fever....), but I have sure come to appreciate their production, and they have become much friendlier once they started laying. For a couple months when they were teenagers, they went rogue on me and roosted in a vine on my shed. They are so fast, it took me a long time to catch them. They were little escape artists, too. I finally caught them and locked them in a coop for a couple weeks and scratch trained them to come back in.....they now roost with my other ladies and are really sweet girls now.
I still can't believe the size of that darn egg.
I am bringing fruit salad tomorrow and maybe hot toddies or something
I will still plan to bring my canopy just in case of a bit of residual rain. I've been glued to the weather channel tonight and it still looks like it will clear in the morning.

Yay! I am so excited about an afternoon filled with awesome people, good munchies, seramas, and fuzzy butt chicks, not to mention meal worms, organic feed, goat milk soap, irises, ....need I go on????????????? And the fact that I get to wear my designer muck boots out in public.....It just doesn't get any better than that, does it?
