World Egg Day
World egg day was celebrated on the 12th October this year (2007) and will be 10th October in 2008. “World Egg Day is a unique day when countries around the world celebrate eggs and promote egg consumption.” Think Eggs
Although I missed the actual day I would like to celebrate world egg day now by giving a round up of egg facts from farmingfriends.
- Hatty, my white leghorn hen lays eggs with white shells and this year she has laid 101 eggs.
- The guinea fowl egg count between the end of February and the end of September is 725 eggs collected. Please note that this is the number of eggs I have collected and not the total number of eggs laid by the guinea hens.this is because the magpies circle the farm everyday and collect any guinea eggs I can not find. Eggs stolen by the magpies = +350 and 2 pot eggs!
- You can eat guinea fowl eggs.
- Avocado and Egg Mayonnaise is a fabulous starter if you have an abundance of eggs.
