    4 cinnamon queens and 1 ?

    front yard refrigerator-winter?

    I sell my extra eggs out in the front yard with a small fridge in a trailer, It turned cold and im wondering if eggs will freeze out there or if the insulation of the fridge will keep that from happening. I like my sales setup because I takes care of itself and Im not much of a people person...

Oddly enough the egg-laying squaking doesn’t always mean a egg was layed. And one time I was gathering eggs when the bird in the...

    I'm so old I Remember when:

    I taught my daughter how to change a tire, and she has had to before more than once by herself. My mom on the other hand has no interest in knowing anything, her attitude is “I have a son & husband that know how to do things, there is no reason for me to know anything “. Yet in the early ‘80’s...

No edge to perch on that way. In this picture its hard to see but its there...

I...
