Fresh Hen Eggs

No, we haven't had the time to focus on setting up our own chicken coop and procuring chickens yet, but Hubby found fresh hen eggs for $1.25 a dozen locally.  What a deal!  He picked up 4 dozen - some brown, some white, some speckled.  He thought it was a little odd that the lady had to have a calculator to figure that 4  dozen would total $5.  Anyway, I'm anxious to get our chickens and egg factory up and running.  I'm reminded of the I Love Lucy episode when they were living in the country and she wanted to raise chickens for eggs....and the dance.
