Chickens Lay Eggs

Thanks to the tweet (aka Twitter post!) of HeiferPortland, I just watched this video, which I will now share with my many blog readers:

I do not have a backyard and therefore I have no backyard chickens, but we did write about backyard chickens in our really fun Nesting issue (that I still need to blog about *hangs head in embarrassment*). Also, I have three (sometimes four) different sets of friends who at odd, joyous and irregular intervals give us eggs from their magic chickens. Why are chickens magic? Did you watch that video?

Hens can produce up to 200 eggs a year.

And that is why chickens are magic(al).

Also, eggs are part of Passover, which the president and first lady are celebrating with the first-ever White House Seder, not to mention part of that other holiday (non-chicken eggs for that holiday are having a go at each other in the UK). Lots of eggies around at this time of year.

Chickens. Eggs. Anyway, watch the vid, which is from the Heifer Project (rather stupidly not linked at the end of the video, but find the original page here), and maybe send a chicken to a family in a spot where there aren't chicken and duck eggs available everywhere you look, especially if you look at the Farmers' Market portion of the Saturday Market. Nom nom nom.
