Fresh Eggs!

Our neighbors have chickens.  The oldest chickens are starting to lay eggs.  Jim helped build the coop and donated some windows and I give all my fruit and vegetable scraps to the chickens.  It seems like I'm not wasting any of our food now.  When I made out first omelets, two of the eggs had double yolks.
This is Brewster, the rooster.  He watches over all the chickens.  When the coop door is open at night, he makes all the chickens go inside and he lays in the doorway to protect "his girls."
This is Betty.  She was their first chicken born.  She is the Queen, no other chicken picks on her and if one tries, Brewster and Delores (both Rhode Island Reds) will be right there is protect her.
Brewster is a busy rooster.
Here are the two double yolks.
