I was thinking that these guys were BB's but the hens have laid a ton of eggs and I sent some to my SIL (Vo-Ag Teacher in WV) and all but 1 was fertile. They lost power and they all died, but they were almost completely developed. I read that BB's couldn't breed, because Tab A couldn't reach...
The eggs here are anywhere from $1.50 - $4.00. I sell mine for $3.00. The girl down the road sells hers for $1.50. Here is what I do. My husband had a very serious concussion and we were constantly going to Dr.'s offices. Being a talker who has never met a stranger, I bragged on my girls...

The Glover Farm
Hello Everyone!! I am Mamma Bear Glover. A little over 4 years ago, I was injured at work, and after being off work for 3 months with torn erector muscles in my back, the doctor said that I was going to have problems with my back for the rest of my life and if I didn't stop...
Don't bother with a live trap, or a box trap for coyotes, they are too smart. We set ours out close to an area where they had been seen, let it set to get rid of any smell and baited it with everything from dog food to live kittens and everything inbetween. Used electronic calls. Nothing...
As is my norm, I lept before I looked and bought 13 poults at the auction. I have no idea what type they are and they are probably crosses. Does anyone have any idea what breed/s they may be or even sightly resemble? They are about 4 1/2 weeks old. When I got them on Labor Day they were...
I took these pictures of my poults this morning. I never would have thought that they would puff up this early. I got them on Labor Day and I figured they were a week and a half old then. So that would put them at 4 and a half weeks old. Do all turkey toms puff up this early?
My young roo was a beautiful LH. Crowed, took care of his ladies. Never had a problem with him...until my 3 year old neice came over. She had been here several times and never had a problem. We were just walking around, the hens following us looking for goodies and Charlie flapped up and...

Don't you wish you could send her on a tour of one of those "egg factories?"
I have tried telling her about them but she just won't listen. She says she just like to think that everything grows on trees. Seriously, how can you not think about stuff like that. There is only so much...
My neighbor is a wonderful woman! However, will not eat our eggs. She will not even let her DH cook them in the house. "It is just too gross!" She won't eat our pork either. She will eat our beef, because she has never met them. We keep them at the inlaws. She prefers the pork and eggs...
I envy you!!! I also cannot understand why people would live in the city. I would love to have 2000 acres and I would put my house right in the middle of it!! 14,000 would be even better.
