Chicken Run


On Fridays, I have morning chook duty at the community garden. This means I head down there - with Phoebe in tow if we're sufficiently early - and let out the chickens, make sure they have food and water, and grab any eggs they happen to have laid. The last three weeks have been an egg bonanza. This Friday Phoebe predicted that we would get 10 eggs - and we did! Here we've added them to the remains of last week's haul.

I've been trying to use them up, so last night we made chocolate mousse and today we had eggs and bacon for breakfast. Might even hazard a souffle ...

Lucky you, with all those gorgeous organic eggs! La Rossa has gone into retirement so we now have 3 baby chicks, just 5 or 6 days old. Only another 5 months to go before we get home-laid eggs again (assuming they survive!).
