An abundance of eggs

We are now quite often getting five eggs a day so our eggs are building up even though we are eating them most days. We have eight girls laying regularly. Speckles has only laid one so I am not counting her, Sienna is yet to start and Dandelion and Cinnamon haven’t yet restarted.

We now have enough eggs to give some away.

Abundance of eggs

This is was the bottom of our fridge yesterday. We decided to give some eggs to our friends, opposite us, who we are sharing the allotment plot with.

Gift eggs

An assortment of sizes. The box on the right has two of Flames, large, pale, eggs. One has her tell tale calcium blobs on top, two of Ebony’s, large beige eggs and two of Smoke’s eggs which are our biggest serama eggs. The box on the left has an assortment of the smaller serama eggs.

Our friends are a family of four so I have been waiting until we had enough eggs to give them a reasonable amount.

It is lovely to have enough eggs to be able to share.

      I know that feeling. It is lovely to have plenty. If I was relying on Dandelion, Cinnamon and Speckles (the only remaining old girls) I would have had just the one egg this year so far. Lots of new girls last summer has put the egg total up dramatically. Another, six egg day, today. xx
