little girl's guide to egg collecting


It is an important job to be the designated egg collector. Think about the hard work each beautiful hen puts into one of those fragile brown wonders. Think of the cakes, cookies and custards that result from our flock. And what about that soft boiled/ salted wonderful morning egg sitting pretty in an egg cup? We love our eggs and our fussy hens.


That's why we hired this particular egg collector.


She's prompt- collecting the eggs like the cable guy from 12:00-7:00pm.


She's careful- only dropping the whole basket two times, which is good considering she spins the basket on her little wrist at 77mph.


She will tell you collecting the eggs is no trouble at all.

But after careful observation I will share two recommendations...


1. Wear blue shoes.








2. Wear a bikini.
