Eggcess

The hens are laying in overdrive right now.  We're getting roughly a dozen a day.  Fried eggs for breakfast and egg sandwiches for lunch.  We can't keep up.  Like I've said before, it's a nice problem to have.

Yesterday I contacted some friends and asked them if they wanted eggs.  Hubby played egg fairy in the afternoon, making deliveries and reducing our inventory by five dozen.  The photo above shows how many we have AFTER the reduction.  Tomorrow's cooking plans include omelettes and an angel food cake.

One of my friends who visits Japan regularly gave us some Japanese candy for the eggs.  I was nervous about the yuzu and matcha tea KitKats, but they were very good.  Limited edition unfortunately.

We'll try these candies next.  They look sorta like the breadstick packs that Nutella makes.  Should be tasty.

This morning we had an electrician out to fix the wiring in our chicken coop.  When G went in to feed them yesterday he noticed the lights weren't working, and neither was the outlet for the water heater.  The electrician tested things and said the breaker and outlets were fine, so we suspect mousies chewed through the wiring in the walls.  

The electrician ran a metal conduit between the breaker box and the light switch, and now all is well.  We'll see how much that bill comes to.  Homegrown eggs certainly look and taste better than store-bought, but they're definitely not cheaper.  I'm glad we can afford to keep our happy hens.
