Good evening Montana!

3 eggs isn't enough for a breakfast with the FTE crew.

Used to have about 50 layers. Sold most of the eggs to a nearby health food store. People wanted fertile eggs for some reason. So that kept a couple of roosters busy. Also had some Auraucanas that would lay green, blue and red eggs.

We have some easter eggers and they lay green/blue colored eggs, small though.

Morning Montana
Roy, your grand daughter might like some Auraucanas. Those colored eggs would be a good subject for her school mates.
