Yup just a quik flip and over they go. I can do up to 6 at a time,

Depends on the pan, I suppose.

What cooks an egg without turning it over is using the spatula to flip hot bacon grease over the top. That way complete cooking of the white is achieved with nearly zero cooking of the yolk for a perfect sunny side up fried egg.


You have some very good qualities you know. Some folks here think you might be a bit persnickety, but you know how to cook eggs.

I use a spoon to slop the hot bacon grease over them though. For me, somewhat less messy.

Besides, if one uses a lid that's just another thing to wash.

Speaking of eggs, even eating a few a week, we finally have the girls laying regular enough after their winter strike to fill a dozen carton.

Well, that answers my question, I was wondering what kind of girls you had working for you.

Do you use lights to regulate the hens?

I dont really care for deep fried eggs.


A little butter in a well seasoned iron pan is good for me.

Those look fantastic. I sure do miss my chickens. Fresh eggs, and piles of 'em! Once we get settled from our move, maybe we'll build another coop.


Yep.

Nope. Au Naturele. (Or however it's spelled wink )

There's no power out where the Gulag is and no really easy way to get it there. I got these in 2018, so this was their second winter. Last one they seem to have laid much better over the winter. This time, basically zip production for a good month and a half.

They may have gotten busy when a few weeks ago I told them they were heading toward a stew pot soon, as I wanted some return on the feed investment.

Still making up my mind as to whether to start a replacement batch this spring or let them die out. I lost 2 of the 6 to predators last summer. Wife is not entirely fond of having to deal with them if I go on an away hunting trip or such. If I had a reliable source of "homegrown" eggs around here I'd likely give up on them and sell the coop. But I hate store bought eggs, well, more like I'm no fan of them.

Still deciding on trying to get a dozen or half dozen of those Freedom Rangers now that we have a chest freezer out in the garage. Learned my lesson on the big fat white fuggers, never again!

Not sure about Geno, but we sure do Mike, on a timer switch, so they get the 12 hours of light needed for production.

5 hens, 5 eggs a day, since September.

Couple of 3-4 egg days, over the recent climate change period !

Currently got about 6 doz in the fridge, time to bring some for my guys at work again.

My uncle was stationed at Pearl Harbor after the attack. He was a navy metal smith. The officer in charge of his shop had arranged for a local to bring him a dozen eggs every week. They always came when my uncle was on duty and the superior was not. Ernie would take the eggs, boil one and replace it, then set the dozen aside for the officer. He kept waiting for the guy to complain to the local, but he never said a word to anyone. Probably was afraid that the guy would stop selling him the eggs.

Off onto eggs, and layers.

Remember the "Glasses" they put on hens?
