A+++ Excellent!
Your family is in our prayers.
Thanks.
There must be chickens elsewhere on that island where non-tourists get eggs-two-fifty an egg is robbery unless it is filled with caviar-a dozen fresh-today ones from one of the neighbors costs me a fresh baked loaf of wholegrain or baguette of French bread, or a medium sized plastic bowl full of fresh-picked 2-to-three-inch okra. Free-range brown eggs at the grocery store 20 miles away are $1.50-$1.75 per dozen, depending on the season...
I pray he listens to you now, ti, and that the solution is fast and simple...
One of the neighbors has bantam chickens-I love the little eggs-they are not only tasty, but the shells are faintly tinged rose, brown and even green-I suppose it has to do with what they are fed-hope I don’t start glowing in the dark...
I think all chickens are kind of noisy, but out here, so many people have them that it is just sort of background noise, like the donkeys braying. I doubt I will even notice the chickens and guineas cackling when I get them...
That was $2.50 served hard boiled in an eatery. Not for a raw egg.
Feed doesn’t affect a hen’s egg color. It just is. The “easter egger “chickens I have have been bred to make green or blue eggs.
The reds make brown eggs. The leghorns make white eggs.
That’s a good deal. They charge $5/dozen for brown eggs around here. My two lay medium brown and pinkish brown eggs. We’re planning to go get 2 pullets tomorrow afternoon.
You shouldn’t have told me, then you’d have a pullet surprise.

White and brown laying chickens we had on the ranch, but I was not aware that there were chickens bred to lay colored eggs-they are cute as a novelty, but I don’t see any other reason to do that-it isn’t going to make a difference in the nutritional value, is it?
That is awfully expensive-no one out here would charge that much for free range eggs, but then chickens are all over the place, too-the neighbor a couple acres over was bringing home 5 new chickens yesterday when I was walking by-one is a young rooster with beautiful iridescent tailfeathers-she has only had hens until now.
You are correct. There is no nutritional difference.
Artful, brah...
Good Luck TI. I will keep you in my prayers.
More yolk, less white...better egg.
