I Cracked the Eggs - One Hundred Dollars a Month

Over the past 3 days, the chicken(s) laid 2 eggs. So tonight I cracked them open. Holy cow, they were both “Double Yolkers.” According to my chicken book, double yolkers appear when ovulation occurs too rapidly, or when one yolk somehow gets “lost” and is joined by the next yolk. Double yolkers may be laid by a pullet whose production cycle is not yet synchronized. Interesting.

Personally I think the hen that laid these was disrupted in her egg laying. I have to admit {having self diagnosed myself with OCD} I have been checking the Eglu like every 2 (daylight) hours since it arrived. So maybe she was laying an egg then, “Are you kidding me. This woman is here again. We get no peace around here. How do I buy a bus ticket back to the chicken factory? Please someone chop me up and make me into a Mc Nugget.”

Mavis’ 2 chicken eggs on the left and 7 farm stand organic eggs on the right. I know you can’t tell by the photo, but mine are much brighter (happier) than the farm stand eggs. Anywho, I’m cooking them up tonight. It’s a breakfast dinner this evening. Scones with sliced strawberries, maple sausage and eggs.

FYI: If you don’t hear from me within 24 hours, come check on me to make sure I have not keeled over from eating real eggs from a real chicken from my very real backyard.
