Fresh Aigs!!

[NMDemDist2]

I FINALLY found an egg supplier :woohoo:

This nice couple at the end of the road who waves from their front porch every time we pass had a yard sale Saturday so we stopped in to see if they had any treasures (they did, I got 3 pairs of Dockers for my (skinnier) butt and a salad shooter) and hanging there was a sign that said "Eggs $1.50 a dozen!!!

She was sold out on Saturday but called me today and i picked up 18 fresh 'aigs' and put in a standing order for a dozen every Friday :bounce:

Dinner tonight was omelets with avocado and cheese

:9

1. I bet that omelet was yummy!

Gotta break a few fraish aigs to make a good omelet! :hi:

2. I got my first home-grown turkey egg last night.

Anxious to try it, although I don't suspect it will be much different from a chicken egg.

3. Nice to have a source!...

I can get some from the co-op but I have not picked up a box in a while.

Enjoy!

[japple]

4. Whooohoo! You scored big time at that yard sale. It's nice

to find something so good that close to home.

5. I'm still waiting for my 3 hens to get laying

there should be enough daylight soon........enjoy those fresh eggs, NM. Those omelets sound good...

6. Yaaaaaa! for you, sista!

Nothing like frash aigs. :woohoo:

Are you back to work now? :hi:

[NMDemDist2]

7. not yet.... sigh

seems there's a major backlog on the security checks

:banghead:

[hippywife]

17. Sorry things are lagging

for ya, sweetie. Have you tried your earrings with your uniform yet? :D

[NMDemDist2]

23. don't get a uniform til i get to work

but i've worn them both several times anyway :evilgrin:

8. I have 7 egg suppliers in my backyard now!

Bought a box full of baby chicks at the hardware store last spring and now they are all grown up and laying! We have too many eggs this spring, so I supply my in-laws and the next door neighbor as well. :hi:

[hippywife]

9. Isn' t that a great problem to have? LOL

I haven't bought an egg in probably four years now, and I love it! :hi:

[wildeyed]

10. Yes!

And I have a broody sitting on some fertile eggs, so more chicks soon, if all goes well! :hi:

[NMDemDist2]

12. hey you!!! I would have me some chickie girls except...

Mr. Ketchup is VERY allergic to feathers, he'd never go outside again if I had a coop here

but it's damned good to see you!!! how's that kitchen holding up, still loving it??

[wildeyed]

15. Kitchen is still great, except the appliances are not holding up.

Never buy a Kitchen Aid dishwasher. I already had to replace mine :( Too bad about the feather allergy, but at least you found a local source for natural eggs!

[NMDemDist2]

16. ouch!

i replaced mine last year with a bosch and it's awesome!

[WhiteTara]

11. that deep rich yellow/orange yolk and mound

of whites in real Aigs can't be beat! My dream is a chicken coop this spring and eggs late this summer. Then I'll put out my own little sign "Fresh Aigs!"

[NMDemDist2]

13. sweet!

and her hens lay brown eggs so it just 'feels' like fresh yanno?

[WhiteTara]

14. I do!

My milk lady's chickens run around her house I just know those Aigs are fresh and wholesome!

[hippywife]

18. Good for you!

You're gonna love it! I was frying a couple over easy for Bill the other morning and when I went to turn one of them, the yolk just flopped completely outta the white and didn't even break. LOL

:hi:

[Denninmi]

19. Here's my daily collection

Duck, turkey and hen.

[wildeyed]

20. Pretty!

What breed lays the speckled eggs? I plan to get some blue/green egg layers at some point.

[Denninmi]

21. The lighter colored ones at the bottom right are turkey eggs.

The somewhat darker brown, speckled egg at the top of the photo is just an abnormal Isa Brown or Rhode Island Red chicken egg -- sometimes the works malfunction and the girls lay eggs with funny shells, either misshapen or spotted or whatever.

Specifically, the turkey eggs are from Royal Palm x Calico Sweetgrass crosses.

22. Salad Shooter. Sweet! n/t
