Have 30 plus chickens.. Can't count em' as they move around too much.. Just recieved 5 new ones from family.. Three have feathers on their feet, large and white with some black. They were free range but it's winter. The feather foot ones couldn't care less as they are fed and watered daily. One...
What’s the obsession over egg shell color obsession..? Chickens are different as eggs from different chickens are.. It's all about diet and happiness quotient.. Free range eating grass, bugs and weed seed makes whites stand on their own to dark yellow yoke.. and FLAVOR! Never loved eggs so much...
All the above plus more.. your store bought food is poison.. Slow, but effective.. There was a day when you could buy tetracyclen in bulk at the farm store.. It was so abused it created super viruses.. Today, the only thing you can find is fish biotics.. Same stuff.. Would sugest a supply in...

It's amazing how hard it is to give away.. My fridge gets taken over in spring through summer. Have people who would really appreciate them and always have, but a one hundred mile round trip.. 10 dozen plus at a time.. no more.
Pressure canning was a bit intimidating the first time.. Have...
Store bought eggs have all the taste of a sponge.. as does most store bought chicken. Will say actual free range eggs flavor is superior. As is free range chicken, a nutty flavor as is wild game birds.. Admit I would have a hard time raising chickens for meat these days, but can. All life is...
Certainly white eggs are easier.. meat spots do not bother me. Just means fertilized which some of your health nuts seek out.. The occasional mutant I'll toss.
Always been attracted to brown eggs, which you pay a premium in the store.
It's always disappointing, store bought eggs.. SALE! Crack...
