I'm still "eggcited" every day to see how many eggs the girls have laid. I have 4 slightly different coloured eggs each day but they are always the same colour each day. I only know "Dawns" egg so far, she our earliest layer.

The kids ran down after breakfast and again after church. So what shall I do with this egg, boiled, scrambled, fried, suggestions please. It needs to feed 4 of us. lol Back to top pjred Joined: 15 Jun 2008 Posts: 241 Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:34 pm    Post subject: It needs to feed 4 of us. lol[/quote] Are you keeping Ostrichs?

Best wait until you have at least 2 to scramble which is probably the easiest to share out.
