Fresh farm eggs

Oooo there big.....I feel sorry for that hen as well.....

You must admit they are lovely boiled with home made bread. I also pick up fresh eggs from a farm every wednesday when I'm passing,you carn't beat a fresh EGG !!.
Hi Elke, my brother also lives in Canada been there 40 yrs.

Hi Stripes! Yes indeed, farm fresh eggs are wonderful. These big ones won't fit in my poaching cups or egg cups, so I use them for scrambling or baking. Whereabouts does your brother live, BTW? Have you visited?

I love fresh egg. I kept 60 red hens through growing up and sold them to the market. These big ones usually had double yolks.

Oddly, these big ones don't - a large yolk and masses of albumen though. And the shells are very fragile. My son has explained that, as all of them are fed the same diet, this is a problem with the particular hen's oviduct (not producing the hardening coat). Anyway, it doesn't affect the quality of the shell's contents.

I don't feel sorry for the hen as it is obviously the hen ostrich that layed them.

LOL Well, ostrich eggs taste good, then.

Hi Elke, he lives in New Brunswick.

Thanks Stripes. Not far away from here - we travel right through NB every time we visit our daughter in Montreal.
