We have raised chickens for several years, adding to the flock by buying newly hatched chicks from various sources. We made a decision from the beginning that we didn't want any roosters, and so have only purchased sexed chicks. But, as was bound to happen eventually, our recent batch included...
this is a link to Bloomington Housing Authority: http://www.bhaindiana.net/public_housing.php . It has info on eligibility and how to apply. And here is a list of low income apartments in Bloomington: http://www.lowincomehousing.us/IN/bloomington.html . I hope this helps
Take care of yourself! That enterovirus D68 that is around the country has recently been confirmed here in Indiana. It's also officially in Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio (plus a bunch of other states). If you or your niece start having breathing trouble, go to the ER.
I thought I read a post from somebody who suggested scrambling them BEFORE freezing them in ice cube trays. That wouldn't help for use in baking (), but if you just want eggs for breakfast, it might be an option. Anybody else remember the post? Maybe I was on a different thread (although I...
