EGGS !





I was so excited today when I went to take care of my chickens this morning, I found 6 eggs in the nest box!
I have been giving the neighbor lady some of the eggs also ( she was only getting 1 or 2 at a time because that is all I was getting ) and of the few I gave her she told me she had a double yoked one the other morning, how about that, and it was a pullet egg at that too! I like the little eggs because they are so cute :)  I finally had enough eggs to use my little egg basket for the first time.  Happy hens lay lots of eggs :)

Custard

Mama dear here is the custard recipe that I used over the week end. Don't know what happened with it, but the chickens sure did like it!

                     3 beaten eggs
                     1/4 c. sugar
                     pinch of salt
                     2c. of milk
                     1 tsp. of vanilla
                     Nutmeg

Beat eggs, add sugar, pinch of salt, and milk, mix all together.
Add vanilla. Add a sprinkle of grated nutmeg. Pour into sm. ramekins. Set all in a shallow pan with one inch of hot water. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 35-40 min.
