Chicken newsflash!

After two days ago with the first of our chicken-egg events, there was no chicken news yesterday. This morning was different. Megzzzz went in to have a look, and behold! A shiny, new, warm egg!


The one on the left is our first bit of real produce (the first one was broken and leaking so probably not a great idea to eat... good point there Mz Speedy). Aaaaanyway... the left was the fresh, shiny, new egg and the right is a normal 59g egg from shop-bought free range eggs.

The yolk was smaller than usual and quite tough, but after some convincing it contributed to the omelette for breakfast.

Excitement never tasted so good!

Congratulations again.

Let's hope Elvis gets the idea soon as well.

The yolks are a little smaller than commercial eggs and the shells a little tougher. But the colour is so bright and the eggs are so fresh.

I guess the egg proportions will change as the girls mature.

You are on the money with the yolk colour. It's awesome!

Elvis still has a way to go. The comb still isn't fully developed.
