Where are the eggs?
We are still struggling with our egg supply - our new pullets are still not laying yet. Which means baking stuff is getting put on hold because there is not enough eggs - I wanted to make an apple and blueberry cake last night to use for Peter and the kids morning tea, but it needed 2 eggs and we only had 2; plus there is a Key lime slice that I have been wanting to make for about a month now (limes are currently in season here), but we never get enough eggs for me to make it (it need 4 eggs). To relieve this situation we have resorted to buying a carton of eggs now and then to get us through this time. Unfortunately Peter forgot to buy a carton on the way home from work yesterday (they were on special until last night), so I will have to wait until I go to the markets on Sunday to boost our supply. And I really hope these new chooks start laying soon!

From my experience with the chickens at Tom's parents it is necessary to suppliment your egg supply with bought eggs sometimes. They have around 10 chooks & often she will have to buy a carton of eggs (she does a lot of baking). Like you say it just depends on how much baking you do or would like to do.
