Word Of The Week



Abbey's Word of the Week this week is...

Egg noun
Pronunciation: ed
An oval or round object laid by a female bird.
When one has chickens in the backyard, one spends most of the day standing at the door saying 'buck buck' or 'egg'. One wants to check for eggs all day long. Unfortunately, one also wants to carry any eggs inside - hence, the number of eggs laid does not generally equal the number of eggs that arrive into the kitchen. (Note to self: must buy a small egg-collecting basket!)

  1. We have the same issue here, luckily, my hens are now free range enough that the egg shells are incredibly tough. I watched Amy drop one the other day and the egg bounced! But it didn't break. Insane.

  2. Adorable! So does she eat the eggs too?

    My kids are allergic and don't really like them much, so I think it would be pointless to keep chickens in our family.

  4. She is too cute - and yes maybe a little basket for collecting would be good - love that she wants to collect them all the time.
