    Allergic to store eggs?

    It is very possible that they are allergic to something in the feed that is given to the hens. We can never know with store bought eggs. I have 2 relatives that are extremely allergic to gluten and cannot eat any eggs - store bought or 'farm fresh'. Eating eggs resulted in rapid extreme bowel...

    The Paleo Diet

    I am 100% Paleo - 80% of the time. I learned in my archeology class that ALL early HG humans 'invented' cheese on they're own. It is thought that when they took down a lactating animal they used its stomach as a bag to carry the milk back home. By the time they got there the acids left in the...

    Michigan Right to Farm Act in Jeopardy!! You must act now!

    Yes, it would still apply. Under the act now, you are allowed to have them. You just need to intend to sell (no time limit, dollar amount or other limits are set). Under the proposed changes, you will be required to remove your chickens if your local ordinance forbids it. Even if you just want...

    Hello Fellow Chicken Lovers from Michigan, If you are like me, you have some chickens because you love to raise them properly with care and love to feed them and their eggs to your family. Well, your rights to have even just one chicken are under attack! For years you have been protected from...

    Michigan Right to Farm Act in Jeopardy!! You must act now!

    By the way, to be a 'commercial' operation, you must only 'intend' to sell some product. There is no minimum amount you must sell. Intend to sell a dozen eggs to your neighbor, mom or friend and your good. I read this in my research and I have not read anything else(yet) to dispute this. I...

    Michigan Right to Farm Act in Jeopardy!! You must act now!

    Hi Rusnakes, Here is an excerpt from the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund site. It has dates of Jan 22, 2014 but apparently we get another chance to write, email and show up in Lansing on Feb 12. They say it much better than I can. They read through all the legaleeze and put it into laymen's...

    The Paleo Diet

    My husband and I started the low carb / high fat diet (New Atkins) back in April 2013 when my husbands cholesterol came back a 'little' high. Our doctor promptly handed us a list of low fat/high carb foods to eat and help lower is cholesterol. I took one look at that list and my gut(pun...

    Sweet PDZ versus DRYSTALL? for odor

    I use the granular form of Sweet PDZ in the trays below the roosting bars. I scoop it out with a 'heavy duty' kitty litter scoop every day. It takes less than 5 minutes and no dust. I put the droppings in a bucket and have a very special compost pile for my 'Bucket of Gold'! I have 14 chickens...

    Chicks for the first Time

    Thank you for the compliment about my pond. I would like to tell you though, that before the pond we used to have a very bad mosquito problem here too. After having my pond for a year, our mosquito population dropped dramatically!!!! The mosquitoes would of course lay their eggs in it and the...

    Good Flooring

    Thanx for the advice. I will stick to the pine shavings in the coop. The run is not finished yet, so of course it is still 'lawn'. I am going to try to landscape it with 'chicken resistant' bushes (wish me luck LOL). If the lawn in the run gets destroyed I am also considering sand in the areas...
