#311 We're taking back... Eggs!

In this Age where popcorn comes pre-made,
some reject the status quo.
Instead, they make and grow their own.
This time, we’re talking about eggs.

Did it start with a kitchen garden?
“Why not a chicken?”, you said.

Did you hit decision fatigue?

Free-range? Organic? Barn laid? Omega 3?

Perhaps just disappointment.

Poached eggs failed, yet again.

No local farmer, store or market?
You thought

Or was it the promise of truly fresh eggs!

A backyard chicken to

  • fertilise
  • control insects and weeds
  • eat scraps

Maintain the magnificent breeds.

Or show your kids what came first.

Whichever.

Blessed.

Share your chicken and eggs!

Send your backyard chicken / egg / egg dish photos to me, we’re going to make a chicken movie! Include you chicken’s name, breed and complete the sentence “My human loves me because…” Email your photos and blurbs to info@flavourcrusader.com or ping me at @flavourcrusader.

My human loves me because...
