Out to the chicken coop first thing this morning (well, after my first cup of coffee!). Not in the nest boxes, but in the corner under the roosts, I find this perfect little wee egg. It's such a beautiful little thing! Now, The Girls, the Leghorns, are a year old and have been laying since June '09. Why one would lay such a tiny thing is a mystery to me! For the photo, I've included a quarter, for perspective ( a shiny new Canadian Olympic quarter!) as well as some of the regular eggs. I wonder how they actually make those awesome, handpainted Ukrainian Easter Egss........
The heck with handpainted Ukrainian Easter eggs -- I'm looking forward to some eggs over easy and Aagaard Farms bacon when I come in the summer. And if Farmer Man wants to throw in some homemade pan fries, so much the better!
