When I used to have laying hens I always made my own mayo, about 25 + long yrs. ago. I have since lost the recipe does anyone care to share theirs?

I am sick of paying 2 prices for store bought!

Mamma Thank you so much for sharing, I am going to have lots of fresh eggs soon and can't wait to make my own mayo again. My little flock is so pretty and how they've grown!

Yes Mama I agree 100% I would have all them if I could!

You know we bought 12 chicks and we lucked out and got 10 hens & only 2 roosters, the roosters were Rhode Island Reds -darn it- because they are the very best layers! But anyway we have 1 RhodeIsland Red hen, 3 buff orphingtons a beautiful buff color, 1 black hen, 2 white with several shades of brown undertones, and 2 Plymouth Rocks they're a black with white markings, and our favorite an Aranacauna (spelling?) she is georgeous mix of all colors and has little puffy feathers that extend out from her ears. I do not think I could bear to eat the roosters, they are little dickens and will daily try to drink the water as I am filling their water container, and so have decided to keep them until someone complains!
