    I don't give mine meat because we don't typically have meat left over for disposal. We eat it all! I have had issues with hens eating their own eggs after feeding them shells in the past. I know that it makes for stronger healthier shells in the future, but we decided to stop. I am all for...

    Uh Oh! I have roo in the bunch. I got the chicks moved outside this week and was hanging out with them today.

    Quote: I just got an Acre in Carson City for under $200k. There are several on the south end of town for under $180. That would put you around 3-5 minutes from Costco and only 15-20 minutes from the lake. Let me know if you need a realtor too. I have a good friend that helped us and she is...
