We actually live in a place now where we can keep chickens (in theory - one needs a permit, and they're not that easy to come by), so that may happen someday.

When I was growing up my mom had an electric egg poacher, which was convenient but I recall a huge pain to clean. I much prefer them made free-form like yours. Thanks for your tip on making them ahead, too - perfect for getting ready for a brunch.
