Eggs!

Can you believe these yolks?!
The "yellow" one is darker than the store-bought egg yolks, but it looks so mild compared to the orange one!
The chickens have gone from being good pets to troubled teens...instead of always laying in the boxes and going into their house at the end of the day, they are laying eggs off the roost and scattering around the yard at dusk.
I used to call them "Here ladies..." and then give them a snack off the side of the porch, and now they're coming up on the porch and pooping all over. When we're in the kitchen they're on the front step and I can hear them knocking (pecking) on the door. It drives me crazy!
But I still love to crack open a warm egg to mix into lemon poppy seed scones or a quiche. I shouldn't complain too much!
