Breakfast with my little King... and his parents ... and his dog

Parents of my Little King...
Their chickens were safe and secure in the backyard - and they were still happy and prolific.. (I'm talking about the chickens here!)Yep, you're seeing correctly. They're a little green... but oh, their yolks are incredibly yellow and RICH!I thought I'd just show you a close up of a good ole fresh egg... before it's washed. In Safeway, you see the Disney version of eggs... all nice, clean, white, and perfectly shaped, but not near as rich and tasty.Emily was hard at work cracking those eggs. You may notice our little King... he's about 26 weeks old.Biscuit was hoping for a handout... egg, bacon... doesn't matter.

After the bacon was cooked, I asked Gabe what to do with the grease...First I couldn't believe what he was doing... then I told him to stop so I could grab my camera. I think this makes the chickens happy... or maybe Biscuit likes it... or any other number of varmints!Gabe laughed at me.

Unfortunately, my camera battery started going out...so all the hundreds of photos of my little King didn't get taken. I did get some of his mama and poppa, but not as many as this blogging Mimi likes!

26 weeks... oh boy!!!
