Eggs, in every shape, color and variety,
are a favorite for anytime of the year.
I find it a great pleasure to hear my hens let me know whenever they lay an egg. They are so proud, only an hour later, it is gone, because I go out and whisk it away. They can't quite figure out what happened. That's when I assure them they have been good girls and everything is okay.
We hear a lot about eggs these days and how many we can safely eat. According to "BACKYARD POULTRY MAGAZINE"www.backyardpoultrymag.com eggs are among the highest-quality protein found in food, second only to mother's milk. Egg protein is complete, meaning it contains all of the essential amino acids. One large egg contains approximately the same amount of protein as an ounce of lean meat, poultry, fish, or legumes. Eggs laid by hens that have access to pasture or other greens, contain less cholesterol and saturated fat, more vitamin A, D, and E and more beta carotene, folic acid, and omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids than factory farm produced eggs laid by caged hens.
So what are you waiting for?
