    turtle egg care ?

    bad news, a turtle guy told me that them being dumped by the dump truck most certainly killed them even though the shells were not broken. he also told me they were snapping turtle eggs :eek:. he said if by a miracle some hatch that he would take and release them for me.

    freedom ranger taste

    I didn't enjoy the red broilers/freedom rangers either. They smelled pungent when cooking to put it nicely. The Cornish X are my go to from now on.

    Expensive Sticks!! :'(

    if you can, put them is pots of potting mix and put them in dapple shade for a week or so. Keep them watered. They should bounce back. I'm no fan of that company either. Good luck
