If you read the headlines last month about the egg recall, then I can’t blame you for being concerned about the quality of eggs sold in stores. Lucky for me, mother feeds us good quality chicken feed, fresh food scraps, oyster shell, and whey. She also started hanging our food above ground because someone kept pooping in the food and knocking the feeder over. They say that chickens aren't the brightest pennies in the pond but I think we found a pretty successful way to have our food raised up so we wouldn't have to bend over to eat it.
You can tell a good quality egg by the hard shell, the bright yellow yolk stands up in the center of the whites and the yolk is hard to rupture. It also says a lot that my eggs can sit out on the counter for a month before they need refrigeration.
Having access to clean water throughout the day and having our home lined with a deep layer of pine pellets keeps us clean, healthy and smelling good. Now, if I can just keep that neighbor cat from staring at me through the fence in the morning, I’ll be a-okay.
