Just guessing, I notice the Organic egss we get are darker in color and taste creamier or something. I can definately notice it. We are getting ready to move (another rental) but with a huge backyard and our neighbor (who is also the landlord) lives next door and is a farmer with a big corn field. I am hoping we can get some chickens too! I'll have to come to you for some chicken advice if that happens. We had rhode island reds as children but I don't remember much about what they need.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447564243887187606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-60981610812838254302007-10-03T21:43:00.000-07:002007-10-03T21:43:00.000-07:00Illoura... how do you pronounce your name?

We have three more in the fridge right now that the kids and I will cook up this weekend with our CSA stuffs.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for finding me... I enjoy new friends. I will check out your space soon too. :D<BR/><BR/>ValVal in the Rose Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-66876090378544151762007-10-03T15:02:00.000-07:002007-10-03T15:02:00.000-07:00I just wandered over here from the MaryJane Farmgi...I just wandered over here from the MaryJane Farmgirl (chat threads) and haven't been on your blog for more than just a minute (a quick read and save to favorites is all i have time for) but wanted you to know that those deep rich colored eggs you've got are how they're supposed to be - no matter how old the chicken! I too have a picture of a bowl of 3 natural eggs and 3 store-bought...and the contrast is shocking. Makes you wonder what the nutritional content REALLY is in those eggs, and I also can't help wondering how terriby boring the diet must be for those store-producing chickens. <BR/>Good luck in your farm adventures, and thanks for sharing it all - it means a lot to us farmgirl wannabees!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
