Ostrich Lays and Egg? This is sooooo cool!

Six eggs yesterday, 7 eggs today including one ginormous crinkled one - scrambled eggs for brekky again tomorrow. If I get at least 6 eggs a day I’ll be having them for brekky the whole time I’m here 😁 & I was told to take all I collect home with me. I think a quiche will be in the offing once at home 😊. Complete nutrition in its own perfect little container. #Chooks #Eggs #LoveThem #Food

Welp. Not that we were holding our breath anyway, but I think we can kiss reasonable egg prices good-bye for the foreseeable future.

I photographed this sign affixed to the egg cooler at the Bellingham, WA Winco grocery store this morning.

You know what? I only eat 1 or two eggs during a normal week, so I think I'll just skip eggs altogether for a while.

By the way, one dozen large, free range eggs cost $4.65 today, about a dollar more than we usually pay. We just returned from California where the cost was between $5 and $7 per dozen.

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, has laid an egg at the extraordinary age of 74. While Laysan albatrosses normally live a monogamous life of 12 to 40 years, Wisdom was tagged in 1956 at the age of five and is thought to have produced more than 30 offspring and outlived three mates. Biologists say there is no record of a wild bird living past 45, making Wisdom’s longevity an astounding feat. Read more from @BBCNews
