Don't Cry Over Spilt ... Eggs?

Today was our first three egg day! The white leghorns are reliably pumping out about an egg a day each. Not only did we get three eggs, but we got our first really big one. So far all of our eggs have been about 1.75 ounces, which classifies them as medium. Today, one of the eggs was a whopping 2.25 ounces, which would sell in a grocery store as an EXTRA LARGE!

My excitement was short lived, however. Liam, who means well and is very excited about this egg business, couldn't keep his hands off the eggs and dropped our very first extra large.

Though we couldn't put poor Humpty back together again, Hoagie the black lab was very excited for a mid-morning snack.


Now I gotta go mop because my kitchen smells like egg. Blech.
