Look what Penny (our Barred Rock chicken) gave us the other day!
We sat around staring at it — Trying to decide what do to. Do we scramble it? Hard boil it? Bake it into something? It was all just too exciting. So, we ended up waiting until the next day and making pancakes with it.
Delicious.

How Egg-citing!
And Penny must be tickled pink too!
Congratulations.
Oh, happy day!! That is a huge egg for a pullet egg!
Troy -
You crack me up! I really should have the “egg-citing” part and used that in the title of this post. :~)
Teresa-
You know, it looks bigger than it really is because it is sitting in my 8 year old’s hands. It really is small. I would say it is a standard US Grade small-sized egg.
Oh, LOL! I was wondering because our pullet eggs are about 1.75″ long compared to the 2 to 2.25″ long ones of our older hens (and yes, sometimes those big eggs don’t fit into the cartons used for regular eggs!)
That is just great. Pancakes sound like a good way to use your first egg. Did you use the egg shell for garden compost? I just learned that you can put just about anything in a compost. I can not wait to try it.
