This relentless heat has caused our chickens to stop laying eggs, so we had to buy some at the store. They were on sale, so we thought we'd supplement our dwindling supply. Holy crap, these things are flavorless junk compared to the fresh homegrown ones! When we first started raising chickens, I didn't notice that ours were that much better than the store-bought ones, but going the other direction really highlights the massive quality difference. (We also use much higher quality feed now than we did in the beginning, so that is probably part of the difference, too.)

If you eat eggs, get your own chickens.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
