The flavor is phenomenal and as you said the Color !~! Oh my stars, the brightest yolks, the firm whites, I could give up meat if I had a steady source of freshly laid home grown eggs all year round-that'd be the best protein source i could imagine.<br /><br />Thanks for the pictures of the auction/boot sale; we have nothing nearby to compare and I miss it for it was near to where I grew up. The auction holds two precious memories-being bitten by a horse for the first time and my mom's dad dropping dead there the same time JFK was getting killed in Dallas. Strange day for the world, doubly do for a bewildered six-year old who couldn't figure out how the auction had killed my Granddad. And why everyone went home from school just cuz my grandpa had died. Talk about a weird day.<br /><br />But yeah, good eggs are the best food out there and I am glad that some of us still have access to them.Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08938791116446859160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-15428267197117690452014-01-26T14:22:31.507-08:002014-01-26T14:22:31.507-08:00I was a bit concerned what might be meant by '...I was a bit concerned what might be meant by 'deadstock'--[surely not chickens or goats which had keeled over]--it seems to refer to the sort of clobbery clutter which males clear out of sheds [?]Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-7480344750463463072014-01-26T13:48:59.131-08:002014-01-26T13:48:59.131-08:00I have just been catching up here.

I think we've always lived in places where there were plenty, so tend to take them for granted. Mind you, I miss the Saturday produce auctions they used to hold at Cottees in Wareham, where you could buy plants, flowers, fruit, veg, eggs etc. by bidding for them.<br />Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-12280634966734386032014-01-25T06:47:15.838-08:002014-01-25T06:47:15.838-08:00One day, when the smallholding gets too much for u...One day, when the smallholding gets too much for us to manage, we are hoping to move somewhere near to an auction place like this where we can go and have a real poke around in interesting boxes every week.
