World Egg Day
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.
- Cooking with eggs is great as they are a very versatile ingredient which have many different uses and can be prepared in many different ways.
- Eggs contain many nutrients.
- Check out your knowledge of egg facts by having a go at the ‘eggcellent’ crossword all about eggs!
- Meet Emily Egg on the downloadable farm produce colouring sheet and learn about where eggs come from.

I always buy free-range eggs. I would have celebrated World Egg Day by having slightly undercooked scrambled eggs on toast, my favourite, if only I had known it was happening?

Hi Louise,
I do too and I try to buy local if I don’t have my own eggs.
I like soft boiled eggs best with toasted soldiers and butter. Delicious. Thanks for your comment and visit.
