Good Eggs

Just thought I’d share some more pictures of the farm, to show the chickens wandering around outside, and also how great their eggs look.    You can click on any of the pictures to see bigger versions.  Then just hit your “back” button to get back to this page.

The chickens are fed a standard ration (Kent Home Fresh 27 Poultry) plus wheat that was grown on the farm, plus whatever they eat when they are outside.

You can see two white specks in this picture - two chickens wandering very far afield!  They are several hundred feet from the hen house.

Real eggs come in all shapes and colors!

Eggs in the skillet.  Look at how upright those yolks are - very firm, and good color too (especially the one in front and on the right).

Another shot of those eggs, which shows the color a bit better.

Because I’ve mentioned the farm’s gorgeous Jersey cows a few times, I thought I’d provide a few pictures as proof, taken in August 2008.

Some cows, checking out my hubby and his truck.

Well, hello.  (I'm not sure if this is Jersey or Ayreshire ... most of their cows are Jersey).

Well, hello.

What a gorgeous cow!

The purpose of the following picture is solely to induce spring fever.  I really don’t remember the world ever being this green!!!
