I just got 2 black Jersey Giant pullets last Sunday. The breeder said they were 5 months old and getting ready to lay. He was correct. This afternoon one of the girls laid a tiny brown egg. It is funny because these 2 pullets are as big as my year old EE and RIR and they are also as big as my 2...

For those who think the requirements of this bill are reasonable, because no one in this government would ever want to round up all the guns, remember this The current president may not have a gun round up as part of his ajenda but the next president might! We cannot see into the future to to...

I have some Crown Brand jars with zinc lids that have a different thread than the newer screw lid types we use these days and therefore would not be able to accept the new rings and lids. I use mine to hold buttons, bobbins and sewing supplies.

I have an oppertunity to get some white or blue 55 gallon plastic drums with lids from a farmer that advertised on Craigs List. He has hundreds of them that contained either teat dip, detergent or iodine. They are not free and they need to be cleaned, but they are relatively inexpensive, $10 for...
