You know your eggs are local when they can name names!

We stopped by the farmers market in Oracle Az. today to pick up some locally grown honey and also picked up a dozen of these!

You can't get service like that at farmer Safeway!

1. What a cute idea. n/t

2. Cute.

I didn't name my chickens or other birds except my geese (since they're so much smarter and more social than the other species of domestic poultry and waterfowl, although turkeys are probably pretty close in terms of intelligence), but I can relate.

3. Hahaha

I love it!

[Phentex]

4. Love it!

[EFerrari]

I love it.

6. A little more on the eggs (I know, just how interesting can eggs be? But they are.)

First of all, they are really pretty. Almost like Easter eggs.


Second, they each have the lay date penciled on them! I sure feel better about eating these than the factory farm fare from the supermarket!

10. One of my former co-workers has chickens.

I used to get eggs from her on occasion. Her chickens laid pinkish eggs and light eggs, along with the white and brown ones. A couple of them laid eggs that were half the size of the standard chicken eggs. They were great for using in half recipes where the full one required one egg.

11. The lay date feature is a great idea.

[HopeHoops]

15. It really is. The sell-by date doesn't mean diddly-squat, other than to compare cartons.

The eggs can be two or more weeks apart in lay dates.

7. Very cool!

We occasionally get fresh eggs from a friend in the next town.
I don't know the names of her hens though.

8. Prehaps some introductions are in order!

9. Mine are local cause I get them from my backyard!

From Lupie, Scarlet, Chicken Licken, Penny, FiFi and Peanut!

13. That is so cool! And the eggs are soooo much better than the supermarket crap!

I had a couple of ducks once until the Racoons got them and I loved the eggs. To this day I hate Racoons.

12. I remember when I was a kid

there was a delivery truck around town that had a sign on its side: "Our eggs are so fresh, the hen doesn't know we have them".

I still laugh over that one.
