I ate my two beautiful green eggs for breakfast this morning. They were beautifully orange big yolks and they tasted so yummy with a little milk, salt, & pepper and a little dab of butter to cook them in - scrambled. I've been buying fresh 'uns from the lady down the road, but I guess cuz these were mine from MY chicken, they were ever so much better!
Tony keeps asking me where I got this chicken. He doesn't believe it just wandered up. Well, it DID! He thinks I'm trying to finnagle a way to keep chickens. How could he think that! Well, it did just show up. I promise. I'm hoping to add to this one now, tho once he sees how great it is to have fresh eggs. Guess I should have fed my two green eggs to him. Well, I'll give him the next ones! Promise!

Chickie, your chicken is doing so well! Another egg. She's a keeper.
I love it! So...what's her name? Looks like she's yours so she deserves a name.

She is definitely glad to find a good home - laying an egg every day in the winter is an accomplishment!
Oh Vickie, she's so happy and trying to thank you for your good care.
What are you doing with the eggs?
My dog or cat would love them......
Hey, I'm back! I wonder if Jaci is going to cluck with a Texas draw..probably so! It's only fitting! You've got to keep us informed on her. She's part of blogland now. As for the "restench"..we've got that solved with a full tank of propane..now to get rid of those stinky hats!

Well, I just think that is too cool that the stray hen is no longer straying and has found a home! You realize, of course, she has given you your first beginning as a chicken rancher. I can see your hubby laboring over a chicken house and installing chicken wire while you're at the feed store picking out baby chicks! ; )
Love,

Wow,,,she's a keeper. I agree with you though, she probably would like some company.
Happy New Year Vickie! Just wanted you to know I stopped by and I'll so again...I enjoyed your blog!
Ohhhhhh...I want to have chickens one day!!!!!!!
congrats on your hen and eggs
I buy our eggs in the summer from a local guy and my hubby swears by farm fresh.
Wishing you an EGG-celent New Year :-)
Oh my, such beautiful green eggs. Love your photos on this blog.
There is NOTHING better than your own eggs. I love getting eggs, I love to feel thier warm oval in my hands, and I love telling the girls thanks.

I know exactly how you feel... the first time I collected eggs from our chickens I felt the Queen of the World! Isn't that funny?
I feel the same way when i make bread or yogurt... Like I've somehow unlocked the secrets of life.
Of course, people have been making bread for a VERY LONG TIME, so I don't know why I think it's so impressive... but is sure feels that way!
Blessings! Have a great day.
Love your blog, and this post, thanks for sharing.

Awww Vickie, she is such a beautiful little hen! She looks just like my Ginger that passed away in the summer...
I hope you can get a whole yard full of them one day! (Soon!)
