Its true the eggs are not as good after they have been frozen. But if you scramble them with a blender before freezing they are not that bad. It also helps if you freeze in a freezer grade plastic or heaver. They are best used in baking. Used to make omlets they wont be as good as fresh eggs...

My brother tells me its not a good idea to put an egg in your back pocket then sit down,

It means you don't bring any more chickens in or sell any. Or allow someone else who has chickens near your birds. Its usually done when you have some sick chickens and don't want to spread the contagion. Or inversely you have a healthy flock and don't want to bring in an illness. If you...

We had cows and steers, sheep (i agree stupid as well as a lot of trouble), rabbits, chickens, Hogs (southern ridge backs, mean as all get out), ducks, geese and bees. Pigs (the smart pink ones you see now days) I didn't even see one until high school. Chickens was always the easiest to...

Oh yes no trouble imagining it at all. It was typical on a small farm for the kids to do or help with the butchering of the small stuff. I'm an old lady now and i still remember my job was collecting ingredients for the pot. Digging root vegetables, picking the salad and butchering whatever...

Cooper Hawk: Crow sized 16", Relatively short rounded wings; very long tail. Feeding: During breeding season has regular feeding routs where it hunts for common medium-sized birds such as Mourning Doves, Jays and Starlings. Its likely that only chicks or smaller chickens would be...

Wow, it sounds like the paperwork is getting bad back east. I have lived 'out west' all my life (I'm 60) and have only done a once a decade census and have met only one census taker. She came around to ask who owned a empty illegally built house down the hill a ways. Generally no one cares...

I'm confused why is there a census going on now. The only one we do is the once a decade one for the Feds.

cheeka I was just looking at your photos it is amazing how much your Isis and my Molly look alike. Its like Molly took a road trip.

We lucked out I took this one with my camera. My cell lost all the other photos of the chicks in cyberspace. From left to right. Red sex-link Mycroft, and EEs Molly and John

Yes its Molly, my spell check is out. She is a favorite but a little skittish, I have been trying to win her over by giving her mealworms one at a time. In the last couple days she has started taking them from my fingers. So that makes me believe i she will become more friendly.

Yes, she is one of my favorites.

I sure hope so. This has been the longest wait i can remember. But having 3 of 7 hens finally showing some signs that they just might lay before the snows fly it's very encouraging. Before you all ask they got named at a day old. And they didn't care if they were boy or girls names. My...

I believe one of my hens is getting close to laying, one of the nest boxes was checked out this morning. The oldest hens will be 20 weeks on Friday, so fingers are crossed. I now have 3 hens with combs a little pinker than the others. The red sex link, Silver-Laced Wyandotte and the head EE...

Oh YES, they are fine. In most country's eggs aren't even refrigerated. They put them in baskets on the kitchen counter and they are good a month or more.

YAY! Congratulations you just gave me hope. I noted this morning that your birds are only 5 days older than mine.

I freeze eggs using the red lid Tupperware jugs. The kind that comes in pint and quart sizes with the pop open pour hole in the top. I believe they come in 1 cup sizes too. The eggs freeze very well in the jugs, no freezer burn at all. I use them just like you would a carton of egg-beaters...
