Having my own chickens for years, I agree with 1, 2, & 4, but not 3. If I want to take deviled eggs to a potluck, I buy a dozen at the store. Or I end up making deviled egg salad, which is just as good, but not finger food. But maybe it's just my chickens; they are a mixed bunch of different breeds & ages.
When the hens are producing more eggs than we can eat, I give away the extras to friends. Most people are happy to get them, but 1 friend declined after the first dozen. She said they tasted too "eggy" & store bought eggs were not as strongly flavored.  |
