Oh my goodness, cheeks! Adorable pics.
I was weighing eggs from yesterday--I sell the eggs over 50g--when I came across a very big chicken egg--It is 94G!
When I go out in a bit to do a health check in the heat and collect eggs, I will be looking for a hen that has a sore bum....
The egg is blue too.

@Wishing4Wings My 2 "pullets" that started crowing in the last week.
The hens all look fine!
Egg on the left is 48G from a trader joes pullet. The blue eggs looks like a big version of what my SG Dorking x wheaten AM lays--94G:
Ohhh no!

The raspberry jalepeno chicken was pretty good. Here's the recipe. https://onceamonthmeals.com/recipes/grilled-raspberry-jalapeno-chicken/
I used WAY less jalepeno than it called for and I beat them to death in the food processor because I knew if one of my kids got a chunk they would never eat this again. It was just right. Just enough kick to compliment the sweetness.
I used this recipe for the carrots http://diethood.com/garlic-butter-roasted-carrots/ and I cooked them at the same time as the potatoes. For those I cooked them the same as I always do. I cut red potatoes into about 1 inch pieces and tossed them in avacado oil and put them on a cookie sheet (one with sides, I use a commercial type one, you could use the bottom of a broiling pan) and sprinkled with salt and rosemary. I drizzle a little more oil on for good measure and roast in a 450 degree oven (I tried 425 for convection today) and roast until golden brown and delicious, usually around 40 minutes. I put the carrots and potatoes on the same cookie sheet, figuring if the garlic butter got on the potatoes, so much the better. The carrots had to come out a little before the potatoes but I kept them warm in the toaster oven.
It was pretty good. The best part is, The only real prep you have to do for the chicken is making the sauce, which you could easily make ahead and freeze. I am planning on making a double batch of the sauce and freeze it in 4 bags, 2 for marinade and 2 for the finishing sauce. Easy peasy. Then when I want to make it again all I have to do is buy chicken.
