Our bounty of eggs...

These eggs were collected over a span of maybe 2-3 days. Our Araucana hens lay the most unique eggs, they are dark brown, light & dark greens. There were even a few light purple ones! One of our Rhode Island Reds gave us some light pink eggs.There is one hen that has found her way to our front porch. She has been leaving us an egg the last few mornings. They have made it to the frying pan & to the table within 5 minutes of being layed. There is no way of going back to store bought eggs once you've had a "fresh from the farm" egg.
