blue egg : cracked

We got our first blue egg!!!
Ark Boy found it...
 


... and cracked it :(
That wouldn't have been so bad except he's so well practiced in the ways of green (like insisting that when he pees in any toilet - even public ones - that we don't flush!) that he promptly brought the egg to the compost.
Ren Man was sad. This cracked egg was still edible.
Oh well.
More have since come.
We think only one of the aracauna's are laying so far.

 


We started keeping track of how many eggs we were getting since the middle of October.
We're up to 50.
And it hasn't been too many!
We gave 1/2 a dozen to a neighbor who we've only given one 1/2 dozen to before.
We definitely haven't given away as many as we'd hoped - not for lack of wanting, for lack of production.
And now Ren Man wants a dozen and some bourbon to do some aged eggnog for a holiday party...
