One person at work my husband sold to said he wanted to be sure they were brown farm eggs. Well some are medium brown, but some are dark brown, some cream colored, some white, some blue, some green. All taste exactly the same.

Exactly, one color fresh farm egg tastes the same as any other color.

Sold 4 dozen egg's for eating tonight at Dennys to a waitress there that's been asking for some.

It's weird to me because it's mostly rural here. Even the towns around allow chickens. I could maybe understand if i headed closer to KC in the suburbs but country folk ought to know.
They sell eggs at the auction I used to take roosters to. I tried eggs twice. Brown eggs were selling for $2.50 - $3.00. My white ones the auctioneer had to push to sell for $1. That wasn't worth it. Especially when I had to supply cartons.

Is there anyone around you who sells them? We were buying from local farmers before ours started laying.

And cartons are weirdly expensive. I think it's an aesthetic thing - a lot of us all grew up on white eggs from the grocery store so we code those as commercial, and brown eggs were a novelty. I admit I had that bias when I started buying eggs, because I didn't know any better.

Woke up to snow and the incubator on day 11 at 97.5° Plugged in a space heater to warm up the can house. It wasn’t that low for long.

A buttery flaky pie crust. Homemade. It is definitely a labor of love because they were time consuming. lol

I think I'll stick to storebought...

Awww thank you!

We’re in town but there is one possibly two (not sure if the one is still selling but I think so) up the street actually but it’s kind of far for walking, although I think one is closer than the other, so I’d have to get a ride. Or I could just try hoofing it because it’s not THAT far ha and the one place I can pet the goats.
