Cool Chicks Come In Different Colors!
The above is home to four lovely ladies who lay golden yolk eggs! My son Mark and his wife Tamara live in Whiteville, NC and while spending a week in Myrtle Beach, SC we took a day to visit them and get acquainted with the ladies they'd told us about. They also have 3 dogs and a bunny and I don't know how Tamara does it but the place is spotless. I wish I could say the same and we just have 2 small canine kids!
They researched and purchased 4 girl chicks and Tamara built their home from plans all by herself and did a great job of it. The baby chicks are now full grown and daily laying eggs. Delicious brown shell and golden orange yolk eggs. I don't know why but I prefer the golden orange yolks to the yellow. The whites on these eggs are firmer and the shells much harder than store bought.
The fourth young lady was in the house laying an egg! They gave us a gift of a dozen eggs which we carefully handled and managed to get back to Hendersonville, NC without breaking or cracking even one egg. Here they are:
Each lady has uniquely marked eggs and of course they all have a name. Cybel's egg was not only very large but a bountiful double yolker. We've throughly enjoyed their gift and will miss their special gift when we return to plain old store bought eggs.
