Eggs Galore

When you go to the grocery store to buy eggs, they look basically the same. Within a carton, there are eggs of the same color, size, shape, etc. Our eggs are not like that. 

We have several different types of hens. And we get several different types of eggs. Going to get eggs each day is such a treat. We never know exactly what we are going to get. 



We get big eggs, small eggs, round eggs, long eggs, white eggs, brown eggs, speckled eggs, and so forth. Starting to sound like a Dr. Seuss book? I think so.




There is not much of a difference with these eggs on the inside. But they each have a different look.


These tiny eggs are always fun to find. They are much smaller than any of the eggs that you get in the store. Their yolks are a bit smaller than regular eggs, but the real difference is with the whites of these eggs. They barely have whites! When we crack them, these eggs are almost all yolk.

At least once a day, we find one of these big eggs in the coop. We haven't figured out which hen is laying them yet, but we enjoy finding them. These eggs are almost twice the size of the other eggs. And they all have double yolks! 



We have ten of these giant eggs They are so big that it is difficult to close the carton. 

It is so much fun to be able to go out and gather eggs of all shapes and sizes. They are all a bit different, but one thing that they all have in common is that they taste great!
