[...] The fresh horseradish is amazingly brisk and pungent, with a much cleaner aroma than the horseradish I buy in the stores. So far I have made a sauce for crab cakes and horseradish deviled eggs—because God knows I have plenty of eggs. [...]

That’s it, gotta get some chickens. When my kids were little, we did have a couple of laying hens which had escaped from the local coop. Ben and I would walk down to our little coop each morning after Em had gotten on the bus and Miss Chicken would be squawking and ‘poof’ an egg. We would grab that hot egg and run for the kitchen. I’ll bet it didn’t feel that easy to Miss Chick but it does seem like magic. Giving birth every day would not be a great way to live in my book.

Kylee – It’s time for you to get some chickens, sweetheart. The kitties will behave. Mine does.

Shawna – Thanks for the compliment. There is so much I don’t know about photography. Oy.

Lynn – Goodie, another chicken lover! I hope you get as much joy from them as I do.

Hi Gail – It’s so hard to keep up…

Hi Melissa – I’ve been meaning to call on the local homeless shelter to see if they could use some eggs. We usually don’t have *this* many at one time, but they started to add up when we were in Charleston recently. But I will definitely need to find a worthy place for them once the younger hens decide to go to work.

Thanks for visiting my slow blog everyone.

I love your observations of the hens at their duties…the glassy-eyed look. I’ve often thought that the serene look attributed to mothers in paintings was actually a look of being totally zoned out–as most mothers of infants are.

Do you have a place to donate your excess eggs…or just enough friends that are happy to take them? Now that keeping chickens is catching on, it seems like an ideal thing to have an extra hen for the hungry…like the movement to plant and extra row of veggies to donate to food banks.

Your chicken info is very interesting as I have started raising chicks – I’ve had them alittle over 3 weeks now. We have some easter egg chickens, and a number of other types. I find myself rambling on about them, they are so cute & entertaining. I just came in from the coop right now, as a matter of fact! I hope to have as many eggs as you next year!!

Every time I read one of your blogs I am amazed at the beautiful photographs and absolutely gorgeous colors you assemble. Robin, you are a definite artist with the camera.

Love the chicken stories – keep’em a comin’ of course!

Our neighbors’ chickens are on a light timer, too. They lay the brown eggs, which actually look a little pink. They also lay greenish-blue eggs, which we call green, so we can say we eat green eggs and ham. LOL.

We’re taking care of their chickens this weekend, so that means fresh eggs for us. Yay! They really DO taste different.
