How Many Eggs Does It Take.....

.....to feed a family of four? Just one!

I got my oldest daughter (2) a few chickens today, and right before we came inside for the night, one of them laid an egg. We had that thing scrambled and eaten within the hour. Yes, all four of us shared our first egg. I was as proud of that egg as if I'd have laid it myself!

I've been proud of things I've laid, but an egg was never one of them.

If you laying eggs you better go get checked out.

Preach I haven't had a fresh laid egg in years. It sounds good about now.

I'm sure a freshly laid egg tasted pretty good. When my dad has his market some 50 years ago he bought Page & Cox eggs. He sold them 2 ways, all jumbo eggs some with a single yolk and the others were all double yolks. He bought them by the gross, 12 dozen all doubles and sometimes triple yolkers were available, don't see this anymore. Another thing you never see are unborn chicken eggs still in the chicken, no shell and they are sooooooooo good, I miss those in my chicken soup. Back then we didn't buy chicken parts packaged at the local supermarket, we got them at a butcher and bought them whole, butcher would cut them up for you, my mother always wanted to cut them herself.

I ought to get about two, two and a half more years of laying out of these, then it's chicken soup time!

As a kid we would visit the family farm in Georgia. Going out first thing in the morning to the chicken barn and collecting the eggs was always a lot of fun. Fresh eggs over easy. Yum.
