We have finally given away down to about 5 dozen. I need to learn to make a quiche.<br />I just boiled a dozen....<br /><br />Have you made an angel food cake yet?

All kidding aside, it's one thing after another if you live on a farm, hard work! I had to laugh at your comment on the Compost Cookies- "Fritos smell like dog feet!" My daughter says the same thing!!! They are from a famous NYC bakery called Momofuku, but what do New Yorker's know!!!Joy Tiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183952085695405635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-71834437048285282402012-03-28T16:25:10.417-05:002012-03-28T16:25:10.417-05:00I like to add an egg to bread too, especially rais...I like to add an egg to bread too, especially raisin bread or whole wheat.

Eggs AND entertainment!<br /><br />Mama Pea, it's the time of milk & eggs here; can you say lots o' quiche??<br /><br />Mooberry, you'd have to have a warehouse full of eggs to have extra eggs with your big family! I'd venture to say that you could easily go through two dozen at breakfast!<br /><br />Chai Chai, the roosters were raised together, but I think the fact that there are enough hens around that fighting isn't a big problem. If there were four (non-injured) roosters and only ten hens I think there would be a LOT of fighting going on.<br /><br />Mama Tea, I incubate, but only because I can never seem to get a broody hen around here. Well, that and the fact that I can hatch out forty-two of them at once....but then WE have to care for the chicks instead of having the hen do it for us.<br /><br />Hoosier Homesteader, do you even have to hard boil them for the pigs? BTW, Paul HAS mentioned getting a piglet to raise next year!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-72132274221476009342012-03-27T21:36:18.435-05:002012-03-27T21:36:18.435-05:00I know a really great way to use eggs.

Why didn't he tell me that before we ordered 25 chicks? <br /><br />HAving said that, you should definitely incubate! Your neighbor would surely appreciate it...and who couldn't use a couple more little peepers? ;)Amy Dingmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955555538158746355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-29137479665339243232012-03-27T20:11:11.890-05:002012-03-27T20:11:11.890-05:00Extra eggs is a good problem to have.

Lots of simple entertainment (and a little bit of work, but really not much). Even bird-brained chickens can have personalities!<br /><br />We've only currently got twelve layers so although our gals are laying very well, I've only got 5 dozen extra eggs in the refrigerator right now. We don't sell them but a few special friends seem to really appreciate a dozen now and then. Like you guys, we often have eggs in one form or another for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I figure it's good use of a very nutritional, fresh, available food we raise right here.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-52578249517776991172012-03-27T14:27:18.241-05:002012-03-27T14:27:18.241-05:00Oh my, I've got a lot to learn before we get i...Oh my, I've got a lot to learn before we get in the chicken-and-the-egg game.
