No, we are not going to eat eggs with chili, that actually does not sound very nice at all. I fed the CHICKENS the red hot chilis and look! 
This is what happens when you feed the last of the chilis from the garden to the chickens – the laying chickens! Red-Orange eggs yolks! I put a pre-chili yolk next to the fresh one so you can see the difference. I got this idea from Jake and I thought it was crazy but there you are! The proof is in the pudding! Or the yolk as the case may be. Isn’t that gorgeous.
Chickens do not have taste buds as we know them so they do not mind eating the hot chilis. I am going to do this every year from now on. I love that colour – I want to paint it on my wall.
Today Hugo and I are going on an excursion and with Jake and John minding the shop we are not coming back until tomorrow. So there will be no page tomorrow morning. Unless of course (as usual) something comes up!
So I hope you have a lovely TWO days.
Love celi

What a surprise to see that you can feed chillies to chickens – and with such a result! I always have a good laugh when I see what you get up to; always something new a fun.
That is SO cool! It looked like the egg was also a double yolker. Are chickens also more likely to lay double yolkers if they are fed with chili?
NOt really – the double yolkers are more likely with a high protein feed – I get more of them in the spring. Lovely aren’t they.
