Passionate Eggs

It's now spring and our passionfruit vines are still fruiting. We have a constant supply, along with eggs from our garden chooks. We get about two eggs a day, plus one more if Mrs Pecky isn't being her usual clucky self, warming the straw in her nest. With the wind blowing everything around we're getting 4 or 5 passionfruit a day too.. I can't keep up. Eggs and passionfruit - perhaps some sort of custard recipe beckons?

The Good Egg

We *finally* got our first egg from our backyard chickens yesterday. We didn't even need to resort to leaving the axe by their door. Maybe they just heard us talking about it? I got 2 chickens as a Christmas present from B (Featherfoot and Mrs Pecky), with Mrs Pecky sitting on a few eggs. Eggs have hatched and now we have an extra little hen called "The Raptor" (the boys went back to the farm... seriously). Since my mum moved we have adopted one of her chooks, Vera. I think we can safely attribute this first egg to her... and by the sounds of it I think another might be on its way!
