the kids LOVE going and collecting the eggs. raelyn likes to go out first thing in the morning. you can tell by her jammies. 
we have made a few things with the eggs. we have scrambled them, made an egg casserole, and cookies. it is so fun to use something that OUR chickens produced. it is such a cool learning experience for the kids too. they know that the chickens are here to do a job, provide food for us, not to be our pets. dave has even talked to them about eating one of the birds. not sure we will do that, but the kids seem to totally understand. i cant believe i am writing a post about the chickens in our backyard. never thought i would see the day
Wow! I never thought I'd see the day that Bonnie would have chickens in her backyard either! But it is so cool. And you are eating homegrown eggs that your children get to collect each morning! Wow!!! Our neighbors have chickens and so we have been buying eggs from them. They taste so good! Wish we could come to your nest instead:)
ReplyDeletethat is SO cool Bonnie!! I love that you guys are using their eggs, how "green" of you! I would completely get attached though and would definitely cry if we had to eat one... good for you guys to be strong!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!! I would get a few chickens for us in a heartbeat but I think our homeowners association would have a prob with that. LOL. I'm not so sure I could ever eat one of the chickens, though. Especially after they worked so hard to lay eggs for us every day. :) It would be like, "thanks for eggs Mrs. Chicken, now you must die". ;) But I totally understand the lesson about chickens as food, not pets. Still, it's not an easy lesson to follow through with.
