That’s incredible she’s doing that wel at her age! One of our EE girls is the only older gal still laying. The olive egger we got this year is by far our best layer at this point, so maybe she can aspire lol.

You have to look at context around data like this. Vaers can include any death after having the vaccine. Not just direct vaccine caused death. Using charts like this with out explanations and context are huge part of the problem with the internet. You can take something. Share it. No sources...

It’s actually kind of amazing how just changing the phrasing of what you search can impact your results. And because of my majors in college I tend to read mostly primary source things. The more that information is filtered through secondary sources the more bias it picks up. but yea being able...

I’m not wanting to argue. But perspective is everything. Some of the shortages with chips and things are forcing jobs back to the us. Factories are being built here again. If the sources you are reading are too negative. Find new sources that will highlight things like above. One of my best...

Costco has been doing walk in as well.

It’s great you guys are respectful of that. I just had read the other day that’s why there were fewer rapid locations is all. Believe me with a medically fragile child I’m not questioning the caution.

I’m so sorry about the in laws! I hope everything ends up okay. From what I’ve read the rapid test just isn’t being accepted enough places anymore because of its rate of false negatives. So many places require the longer test and multiple negatives now to return to school or work.

My husband had a layover in Casey for a night and walked to all the big things sending me so many pictures 😂 it got old fast for both of us. He gets to fly to some awesome places as a corporate pilot, other times he goes to Casey.

I’ve been absent for a while and kind of only perused the thread a bit. But if you want fun fall activities, try all seasons orchard. We have had way better experiences there than at apple holler. It’s in Woodstock which for us is like 25 minutes lol. But they have corn mazes, apple picking...

Rsv is also going around like crazy right now. We had something three weeks ago. Covid, flu, rsv, all negative but our oldest who was our micro preemie and has chronic lung disease was nearly hospitalized. He has pre k starting this week in order to continue to get his pt, ot and speech and I’m...

We finally got power back today. All chickens weathered all the chaos well but it’s been a rough 72 hours around here. Lots of trees fell in neighboring yards. None in ours thankfully. Our biggest loss is the food in the fridge. We didn’t have a generator when this all started but do now. Hubby...

We had a small tree come down on our front porch and that’s thankfully it. Chicken coop is intact. Phew. im waiting for the weather to cool off again so I start getting more eggs. It’s been super slow with how warm it is.

This was my olive egger at about 16 weeks. They all look almost exactly the same😂 it’s definitely a girl because we get lots of little olive eggs. Editing to add we keep natures miracle skunk on hand because our dogs are stupid. It works pretty well.

Our chickens love our mulberry tree. We hate it. The berries are super bland. And it’s all messy. We dream of removing it and planting something we like. Apples or cherries. But it provides good shade to the coop. We went strawberry picking and got some beautiful berries. It was how we spent...

There is a lot of fuss here in McHenry because they wanted to reopen this location but the building owner sold to another storage place. Even though there’s a huge u haul right across the street.
