Keyt - Opa makes pickled eggs out of his bantam eggs, and says they're perfectly bite sized. It's always sounded like a neat way to utilize them to me.
I certainly don't know about all doctors, but when I had my testing done eggs absolutely had their own line item on the testing form and were not classified under "dairy". A friend's daughter was also recently tested and eggs were not classified under "dairy" for her either. I'm inclined it's...
Dairy allergies have nothing to do with one's ability to eat chicken eggs. I'm allergic to dairy -- no, not just lactose intolerant actual allergies -- and have no problem whatsoever. If someone is allergic to both dairy and chicken eggs, that would be two separate allergies.
That said, the...
Well, they pre-make small half hoops for low tunnels. So you could use those. Not sure how much cheaper they'd be than PVC, but that would save you the bending. Another option is conduit, which is stronger than PVC and will hold up better, I believe it's also cheaper in many places. You'd...
There are many awards lists at the top of which you will never find a CX. As a group they're not pretty, they're not all too hardy, they don't tend to be long lived. And though I too tend to lob names such as "dumb" and "nasty" at them on occasion. If you get right down to it, they're not all...
My tongue's bleeding from my own teeth, but I'm not going there. Most of you will know exactly what I'm talking about and Robin will be extra proud of me. So where the heck is my gold star?
This is nothing new, hatcheries have never been known for delivering quality birds of any breed.
Oh, you were going to buy two chicks now? I thought you meant you'd had three and got rid of one and were worried about the remaining two. I would agree that it would be good to wait. If for no other reason, it's more expensive to feed them in the winter and this winter it will be...
Good footwear is expensive, that is for sure. Be glad you're not outfitting two kids who outgrow an $80 pair of boots every year. LOL!
Honestly though, why not just make do with whatever you can find cheap for a little while -- even a couple buck pair of thrift store tennis shoes are good...
Two hens will be fine in the winter. The amount of body heat generated in a space has nothing to do with their ability to thrive. Their feathers are nature's way of insulating them, their body heat stays in and the cold (and anyone else's body heat) stays out. Many years ago we had a lone hen...
Ummmm.... I too have a great release place and you'll contribute greatly to the happiness of a child if you pick mine, not just some pesky old husband. Oldest DD wants to start bird hunting.
I hope not, mine already totals a few grand.
I don't think it applies, I know it does. "Guests" to facebook routinely harvest information for prosecution purposes. Anyone can take any information they have access to and enter it into evidence in a case, the judge can then determine it applicable or not -- as well as permissible or not...
Are you talking about BYC or for it to be permissible in court?
In the case of BYC, it's written into the user agreement that you "sign" when you register. By posting you're agreeing to the terms of use and one of those is that they can use whatever you post here.
In the case of...
Bob, it won't hurt to separate your broodies. Even if it just means putting a divider between the nests. The reason is that they can compete each other off the nests and eggs can get kicked around inadvertently in the process. This is especially true if one has chicks hatching before the...
BYC claims usage rights. Regardless, an item's copyright status does not exempt it from use in legal proceedings. Such use is covered under "Fair Use". There have been plenty of times when a writer's own words are used against him/her. If we couldn't use copyrighted material how would we...
There is no expectation of privacy on a public forum. Just as there is no expectation of privacy in a grocery store. If you don't want something used against you don't post it.
