Diana and Jim got a half a dozen of the famous Elvira eggs in last week’s Namegiving Party.

The eggs were an award for suggesting names for our chickens. Diana and Jim suggested the name Chiquita, which we chose to be as a name for the smaller yellow chicken.

Diana reports that the Elvira eggs were delicious – actually, the best ones she has ever eaten. She made a potato tortilla out of the eggs. Gourmet eggs, that’s what Elvira’s eggs are.

The House of Eggriculture turned into a party scene last Friday evening. Over 40 people came to celebrate the official namegiving occasion for our chicks. The highlight of the evening was the namegiving ceremony, in which
we had an honor to have the only professional chicken namegiver in the Mission – “Father” Frank Morales to name our chickens, assisted by an international group of children.
