I buy eggs from a woman who lives on a nearby farm. Late last fall her chickens began molting and weren't producing so we have had to buy eggs at the grocery store. Until last night. She said her chickens are laying like gangbusters and she had more than enough eggs for us. Hooray! I ordered up 4 dozen knowing they will keep a month or more in our fridge. As you can see from the picture she has several different kinds of chickens at different ages, thus the different colors and sizes. There is nothing like the taste of farm fresh eggs. Those yellow yolks, mmm.
So beautiful! I bet the lady who sells you the eggs would love some of your kitchen scraps/compost to feed her chickens. We raise our hens organically and get all the scraps from organic resturants nearby. It really offsets winter grain costs :)
ReplyDeleteGood idea, I will check with her. Wish I was in a situation where I could have some of my own chickens.
