[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 255071, member: 1991"] Make sure you collect all the eggs as they are laid, and date them (use a pencil) as you bring them inside. I keep an egg carton on my kitchen bench, for storing our eggs (not that we get many these days - geriatric chooks!). If you put them in the fridge, DON'T put eggs on the door because every time the door is opened & closed, it jostles the eggs and prematurely breaks down the structure of the egg white. Fresh eggs - don't boil them and expect to be able to shell them neatly. They need to be at least a week old before a boiled egg will peel neatly. But a really fresh egg poaches or fries brilliantly. And you can always eat it out of the shell, boiled. You got your first egg because your chickie is old enough, plus the sunlight hours are now sufficient. Be prepared for more to come, and find some good recipes using eggs! Marg [/QUOTE]
