The Burger King is Dead!

[Sundae]

One of the LTAs at school keeps chickens.

She had to electrify her fence after a fox decided to include her in its rounds, so for a while she was asking for "donations" when she brough in a basket of eggs. It's paid off now, but I still slip her a little bit of money for feed and so on. Much cheaper than buying them, and I get first dibs and can nab the smalls ones (the large ones make the 'rents poacher overflow) AND I know they are raised in very happy conditions.

The yolks are SO BRIGHT! If I bought scrambled eggs that colour in a cafe I'd swear they added food colouring...

They made it legal to raise chickens in the city limits here. All of our outdoorsy, granolay co-workers immediately put up chicken coops, not realizing the rate at which chickens produce eggs. We will never have to pay for eggs ever again...

Stock up now, they keep for 90 days minimum and the hens stop laying when the day length shortens. The association with eggs and easter relates to when hens begin laying again and you get fresh eggs for a change. In the old days before, well, you know.

Everyone likes a chicken dinner.

Yes, they are fast learners and can be quite clever.
