EASTER CHESS PUZZLE

In a medieval kingdom, some hens would lay golden eggs during Easter.  As a thanksgiving for such Divine providence, it is a tradition of this kingdom to have these eggs donated for the benefit of the poor.  In exchange for their generosity, people who donated golden eggs would not be taxed for three years.  Every year during Easter, the king would have his knight go throughout his kingdom to collect these golden Easter eggs for the poor.  Can you help the knight collect these eggs in the shortest time possible?  On the board below, move the knight to all squares occupied by the golden eggs in 14 consecutive moves, so that an egg is collected each move.
