Double yolker!!

[Anonymous]

Well, decided to eventually use some of my eggs for the first time tonight! Had been keeping them like a proud mamma in my new special white wicker egg basket my o/h bought me for getting my girls. Made scrambled eggs for my daughter using millies eggs seen as she is my daughters chicken. Cracked the first one and it was a "double yolker!!) Was the first egg to arrive after getting the girls home so not too bad eh?!

Has anyone else struggled to eat their chooks eggs? I still haven't eaten any yet My daughter struggled a bit and i told her to stop making a fuss they were the same as shop bought ones but better because you know the chickens that laid them are happy.

Sad i know but heres the pic, couldn't help myself! :lol:

Hi, Kim,
I'm the other way around - I struggle NOT to gobble up my yummy eggs straight away.

I felt a bit odd at first, silly really. No problem now though and in fact I don't like having to buy eggs from other chickens now,even though they are free range from someone else in the village.

I still haven't managed to eat one of our eggs yet Buuuuut! I gave my mum Millies second egg that she had laid and she decided to use it when i was at hers this afternoon and ......., you guessed another double yolker! Is this normal?

Don't think i will ever be able to bring myself to buy eggs again So heres hoping my girls keep laying regularly!

Hi Kim,
I felt a bit funny when I ate our first egg but it soon passed and we gobble ours up pretty quickly. They taste sooo much better than normal eggs. Most of the ones layed by Lulu are double yolkers, aparently it is quite common in young hens but they grow out of it.

Eldest daughters boy friend a few years ago wouldn't eat free range egg because "they came from the bums of chickens" but was happy to buy & eat shop eggs because they came from a factory!

I thought he was joking, but he wasn't.

Maybe the younger generations are getting too removed from where food comes from, and we live in a farming area!

I know what you mean Earthly, I think there are a lot of kids these days who don't understand food isn't made in a factory in plastic.

A lady I know gave her grandson a piece of raw cabbage to eat when she was doing the veg for the sunday roast. Her D-I-L snatched it off him saying " How disgusting, don't eat that!" What did she think was going to happen - what's cole slaw for goodness sake!!!!! :roll:

Hi Kim & all,

A little late to be adding- (just got back from hols), BUT our chicken holder was overun with eggs on our return. My M-I-L looked after the 5 girls of which the youngest came into lay whilst we were away, one is broody and another on the way, so three regular daily laying hens. She took some home, gave my sister 9, & hard boiled some for our return.....I threw them away because there were no dates on them! - YES I religiously identify, girlies name and date pencilled on each eggl

Am now overrun again! Enjoy giving them to friends & family BUT after almost 4 months still can't bring myself to eat them. The most I can do is break 4/5 for a weekly quiche. My son will occasionally fry an egg, my OH hasn't had egg mayo sanys for work since we had the girls.

Everyone thinks we are crackers, but it is a real problem. I am so proud of my girlies and their eggs, isn't it so clever and marvellous how they can make them each and every day. Just like to display them ....or its an excuse to keep buying pottery chicken holders from the car boot??
