Spa Treatment

It has not been a Glamorous week on the farm.
Tuesday evening I was putting the girls away for the night and noticed Gordie was on the floor and not on the perch like the others. She was squawking and walking funny, well she had fly tape stuck to and wrapped around both of her feet! Fly tape is the worst. Little did she realize she was having a spa treatment called a “wax” and any wanted or unwanted hair in the way would soon be removed with the fly tape…sorry that your first waxing was so traumatic Gordie!
Yesterday LuLu had a lil chicken spa time. She had what my sister calls  “dingleberries” on her bum and they needed to be cleaned off! So off I went to the barn with Gloves a bucket of warm soapy water & TIM!!  Thanks baby for helping me clean the dingleberries…you’re the best! So LuLu had a little soak in the tub and personal scrub and now she’s good for another year! (We all hope!)

Did you know that that 1 cup of cooked egg will provide you with 34% of your daily value of Protein?

teeny weeny itsy bitsy lil polka dot...egg!

Yesterday one of the girls layed the cutest lil egg, I just had to share some pics...it's hardly bigger than a grape!
Here is the tiny lil thing among some monster eggs. The egg crate is a favorite gift I received for Christmas from Crate & Barrel.




Oooh here is a super cute egg crate you can find at Anthropologie.....you NEED this!



My 5 yr old modeling the itty bitty with a monster egg!

        Any guess as to what is inside that tiny egg??????

No Yolking around....it's all egg white!

There are a few names given to no-yolkers....."dwarf", "wind" and.....wait for it....."fart" (of course that one is our family favorite). The fart egg is usually produced by a young hen whose production has just started. Our hens have layed about 3 fart eggs over the past year as well as 3 "jumbo eggs" of which 2 had double yolks.   I hope you enjoyed your EGG  Fact Friday!
