Can't really see it there, can you? A close up (because really, this was that exciting): 
And this is what we did with it: |

Although we can't be sure, we think the Colonel is responsible for the early egg laying: she's a production bird, apparently, and is by far the most nest-oriented of any of the chickens. She's also the loudest and the most obnoxious, but that's another matter.
Any interesting egg recipes (or other ideas) are more than welcome.
A favorite egg recipe for the desperate:
ReplyDeleteLightly simmer a favorite broth and gently allow a stream of beaten egg to drop into the broth/soup. Serve immediately. Technically, egg drop soup, but it takes on the flavor of whatever you're dropping it into. Good for breakfast, lunch, dinner. And if you've got tons of eggs and want to make a heartier meal, poach a few yolks lightly in the same mix. Use the white for an egg white omelet or some such another day. You could also bring some to maw and paw... We certainly wouldn't turn them away.... (the eggs, I mean, not the chix)
Freeze your excess (for baking purposes only)! Separate the yolks from the whites. Keeping them separate, lightly stir both and then freeze in ice cub trays. Measure how many yolks and whites fit in to one cube. Really though, do not attempt to serve them up for breakfast, icky! Baked you can not tell the difference. I use them for quiche (you have eaten them), cakes, pancakes etc...
