Next-Door Eggs

"I do, I like them, Sam-I-Am!"

Remember that line?  We do, and we like them too.  Green eggs, I mean.


Our neighbor has the most adorable flock of four hens, all well-loved by her two boys, and all very tame.  They're pretty, they're fun, and they're very productive!

Her Ameraucauna lays the greenish eggs and they're lovely next to the speckled ones.  Sadly, they're not green on the inside!  If you haven't had a really fresh fried egg recently, we'd suggest find some local chickens and try them out.  A warning: once you've had them, it's hard to go back to runny grocery-store eggs!  Next thing you know you'll be contemplating a coop of your own.

If you're lucky, you'll turn up a neighbor who will let you hen-sit when they're out of town!
