    cat food crunch!

    Quote: Hi All, If you need a higher protein feed for your flock why not not buy a higher protein chicken feed which is formulated for chickens not cats. Check the protein content of the cat food and compare the cost to hi protein chicken or turkey feed. I would bet cat food is more expensive...

    Question about gifting eggs

    I would see if your state, as IN. does, has a State Egg Board (or the like) and e mail them and ask, or check on there web site for information. That is what I did to make sure I was not doing anything wrong by selling them. But I would not see anything wrong with giving a "gift" to anyone.
