Bounty from our yard

Well, not a huge bounty, but it's stuff I love--citrus and eggs!  Our small orange tree had about 40 oranges on it this year and they are sweet, sweet, sweet.  Our grapefruit had at least 400 grapefruits on it and we've eaten maybe 75.  Our little tangerine tree that we planted 18 months ago looks like we'll get the promised first harvest this winter.

We are getting 2-3 eggs most days.  Our Easter Egger isn't laying much, but is preferring to sit on the eggs.  No rooster, so it's not going to do much good.  I looked online to get some ideas on how to stop that broody behavior, but I don't have the rabbit hutch to put her and her food and water in.  That's supposed to stop it within just a day or two.  No eggs, no nest, no comfort--stop hoping for baby chicks!
