Nice progress, isn't it fun to see how quickly things can change when you have the right tool.

Not sure on websites to research that kind of thing, all I know is that our "egg" neighbor has regular "laying hens" if there is such a thing as a "regular" laying hen. And then he has some tophat??? hens. He said the tophat are much smaller eggs with much larger yolks in comparison to overall size of the egg. He hasn't tried one yet since last I asked him, so I don't know difference of taste.

Your kids will have so much fun. My son, 3 years old, loves it when I take him out there and sees the frogs, snakes, hens and turkeys across the street. We live on what I would call a city lot right now, so I can't wait until my wife finishes her residency at a nearby hospital and we can build a place out there. Your kids will have so much fun and have a totally different frame of reference for life than 95%+ of other people. All I can say is have fun, it sounds like you plan on it.
