Get some geese to protect your chickens from hawks. They don't cost any extra fees because they can live exclusively off grass (free lawn mowing). In the spring they give you giant eggs to dip your homemade bread in.
Oh, good call! As long as they don't behave like Canada geese, then I'll be alright. How big are those eggs?! They look massive!!
About 6 ounces each. Each yolk is 1.5 whole chicken eggs.
And that's just the yolk!! Do you off hand know the size difference between goose and ostrich egg?
Goose egg: 6 oz Ostrich egg: 3 pounds
That's a whole different ballgame. The equivalent of two dozen chicken eggs.
... How many bread loaves would you like with your egg? ๐ฌ
We should have used ostrich eggs in the cafeteria I worked at. Might have used 8-10 a day making scrambled eggs, rather than 10-15 flats of 48 chicken eggs.
I think the cost premium wouldn't be offset by labor savings. As it is a lot of places go with medium instead of large eggs because it's cheaper to crack more eggs than buy regular sized ones.
Probably, but it would have saved so much cracking, lol
perfect serving size for a late sunday brunch
