You may have noticed no eggs lately....I sure have. She took a week off so her husband could have one for breakfast. We should start getting a dozen every other week. I found  a farmer down the road who has eggs for sale, so I'm stopping by there after picking up our produce for some. I can tell that their chickens are not free ranged, yokes aren't as thick and yellow, but still better than store bought.
