In the summer they get more greens...it changes the color and taste of the yolks. Some nutritiounists insist that eggs are the perfect food...the egg white cancels out the cholesterol of the egg yolk, or so they say.

I noticed in a newspaper article just this week that doctors now say that an egg per day is healthy, and that's good news for me! I love them, but have to admit that I haven't yet acquired the expertise to distinguish between the eggs of hens raised differently.Mark D.

We always wait until evening when they are on their roost. Of course, when you have to have the extra egg for your cake you have to resort to more convincing tactics. I'm so happy that you have such lovely memories. ox, Gina Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-45077675270211883742013-02-01T11:25:02.283-07:002013-02-01T11:25:02.283-07:00Your chickens are fantastically photogenic, Gina!
