OH my gosh are you lucky!!! I lived outside of the city for 13 years and we had chickens and I love, love, love fresh eggs. They're soooo much better. But, just be sure to candle each egg before cracking em in a dish. One time, it was a chicken that wasn't quite ready to hatch and that was yucky!! (You'll only do that once, and then you will candle every single egg...unless you have no roosters). Also, don't expect white eggs. They'll be brown, green, blue, speckled...but white eggs come from chickens that are given hormones...at least that's what I was told.

Have fun!!! and baby chicks really are cute at Easter time....
