Yup, we had eggs and are now out too. My 3 yr old asks for chicken eggs each day now. LOL

I've been using MFP app and it helps me for half the day. Plugging in breakfast, lunch, and snacks are fairly easy. When it comes to supper, I get frustrated. How do you put homemade veg beef soup in? Homemade spaghetti? Homemade pot roast? Etc, etc, etc. It totally throws me off. Good thing is between watching what I eat and running, I'm usually left with 800-1000 calories for supper so I just tell myself SURELY I don't come near that or go over...right?? Eek. What do all your MFP users do when something is a homemade recipe and not a simple food or store bought?

Oh and despite the fact that it sounds like I'm consuming barely any calories...I AM! And I'm not losing weight either. There is a daily fluctuation between 145 and 150.

Me too, they are my favorite! I forgot you have chickens. My son loves the chickens. Our friend we used to be neighbors with had them. The boys went down every day to see them. We even chicken sitted when they went on vacation.

They are so fun! If you are allowed where you live you should get a couple! They have so much personality. We have some new chicken right now and there is this one that is so friendly. She run right up to me every time I walk out side.

Yay! Thank you!!

We are down to just one chicken. We started with 4 but have dwindled to just one. We don't tend to eat tons of eggs (even though we should!) so that's really enough for us. I wish we could enjoy chicken personalities but we have to keep her locked up in her coop/run because of our dogs and because before we had an outside dog, the dang chickens stayed up on our back deck and pooped *everywhere* and laid eggs on the freakin' furniture!
