Mimique gifted us with her first egg the very day we returned from Brazil, on Jan. 25. She's been pretty prolific since then, and even laid one with a double yolk. I took a picture of it with my phone but since I haven't figured out how to transfer it, that'll have to wait for another time.
Recently Chipmunk has started laying as well, and to my surprise, she lays pale blue eggs! Aren't they pretty? Dominique has an egg for breakfast several times a week, and I made myself a small omelet once. I still don't like eggs too much, but I'm trying to learn.
Free range chicken eggs were going for $6 a dozen this summer at the farmer's market, so we're finally starting to get some return on all that chicken feed. Now if we can just keep them alive awhile...

All that effort and anguish and you don't like eggs!! I'm shocked and amazed. Recently I told a staff member who has 4 children and uses 36 eggs/week that he'd need at least 10 chickens. Maybe I miscalculated... What do you think?
