#ChickenOwnerProblems

(A chicken-related parody of #FirstWorldProblems inspired by boiling too fresh eggs for our egg mayo lunch.)

My eggs are too fresh to make good-hard boiled eggs today. #ChickenOwnerProblems

The recipe calls for one medium egg but I only have extra-large and larger. #ChickenOwnerProblems

I have too many eggs to fit in my egg holder. #ChickenOwnerProblems

We don’t have any egg boxes to start seedlings in. #ChickenOwnerProblems

Our compost heap fills up too quickly. #ChickenOwnerProblems

I have to walk laps around the garden to clock up a food mile. #ChickenOwnerProblems

Our lemon curd ends up as yellow curd because the yolks are too golden. #ChickenOwnerProblems

Can you think of any more silly #ChickenOwnerProblems? ;)

    My children would agree with number 1 and number 3.
    “Can I have egg sandwiches today mum?” “No, the eggs are too fresh”.
    “Can I have cheese sandwiches today mum?” “No, we have so many eggs I need to use them up, it’s going to have to be eggs.”

    But also note variant;
    “Can I have egg sandwiches today mum?” “No, it’s the middle of winter and the chickens are refusing to lay because the days are so short and I hate buying eggs when I’m feeding a dozen chickens in the garden, so cheese it is.”

    And I loved the photos too :-)
