When Your Olive Egger's Eggs Taste Like a Fowl Mood

So your Olive Egger is laying greenish eggs that taste like a fowl mood, huh? That's genuinely egg-citing in the worst way possible. You're not crazy, this isn't normal, but it's also not unheard of.

I can't even be mad, mostly because it's equal parts adorable and absurd. She's not scared of the heat or the spatula; she's just convinced the whole operation revolves around her. And honestly? It kind of does. For anyone who's dealt with a feathered friend who thinks they run the kitchen, you get it.
