Eggs

I’m not sure what has gotten into our chickens lately, but we’ve been getting summer production egg laying for the last few weeks. When the older girls all started molting (that is, losing their old feathers and growing new ones) they pretty much stopped laying, and only the younger girls were, except for our Easter Egger, Alternate Universe Cordelia, who is only supposed to be a spring and summer layer.

Only getting 3 to 4 eggs a day, after getting used to 7, was fine. We adjusted quite well, actually. And it’s not like we ever ran out of eggs and had to (GASP!) go buy some at the store to fulfill our consumptual needs.

However, now that we are back to 6 to 7 eggs a day, our fridge is starting to fill up with egg cartons again. So, I suppose the only thing I can do, short of giving them away to the many grateful people who want our girls’s delicious ovas, is make some egg-heavy dishes this week. Darn.
