EGGS!!!!

OK, it's official- We got eggs!!!!

OK,   more like we have egg. But still! Super exciting day here at the punk farm! I believe our first egg layer is Noodle. A decent sized egg too. I found it this afternoon (after I heard loud squawking coming from the coop). I ran and got M to show her. I'm proud to say she was equally excited.



Up close of the first poopy egg.

As I said before they enjoy pooping in the nests. So, we had to wash the egg. If eggs are not dirty when collected they can go straight to the fridge if you so desire. When eggs are laid they have a coating called "bloom" that helps keep out the nasties. But, if you do need to wash your eggs there are many different ways to go about it.  Read up and chose what works best for you. I simply washed the egg in water warmer than the egg it self and dried it with a paper towel. (don't use cold water)

I wish I could have fried it up now, but we will wait for Nick to be home to taste test it with us!
