I can't imagine anyone quoting anything like that unless it's a Flat Earth website or something. Even a sundial doesn't work that way.

Well, from my understanding it has not so much to do with the actual acts of farming but with getting the goods to the markets first. The farmer is up before the sun anyway, so if you can get the merchants up earlier you can go drop off your harvest and then get back to the farm with more...

Well, I do have way too many eggs, but that means the flock gets to enjoy scrambled eggs at least once a week lol.

When I moved into my current house back in May I had 23 chickens that I brought with me. A couple months ago I was in the low 60s because I'd lost quite a few of my originals, very sadly, from mold or fungus I think, and was replacing a lot of them. I like to buy the specials from ideal poultry...

Ok I found and reread the articles. So the change involves adopting new technology that checks the DNA in the egg to see if the chick would be male or female and never even develop the males. ETA I tried the carbon monoxide method of coming when I hatched two deformed guineas (my first cull and...

Ah, she's got those hipster vegan chickens :lau

You're right. I do usually try to order straight run, or I say okay to warmer chicks, because as much as I hate butchering I'd rather they die humanely and with a purpose instead of tossed in bags or a grinder. It's some sort of agreement that some (not all) hatcheries (the commercial ones, I...

I just googled it and it's for "befairbevegan.com" and has to do with the male chicks getting killed. It does make sense since hundreds of replacement layers are hatched and the male chicks from those hatches are killed, so yes, chicks are killed so you can have eggs, even in backyard flocks.

Every time my MIL and FIL come to visit she goes on and on about how much she loves brown eggs and how much better they taste and they are healthier and so on. I tried to explain to her once - not in a lecturing way, of course - that they are the same on the inside regardless of shell color but...

Their whole last name is Ham ;)

Just crumble the shells and sprinkle them on top and call them green confetti eggs

Regardless of storage method, I don't expect I'll need my eggs to stay good for months any time soon. They go to friends, neighbors, the dogs or the chickens if I have more than two cartons on the counter.

Sorry, that reply was to @KDOGG331

Lol well I didn't mean inside the flesh like worms in apples. That can be a bit hard to stomach lol

It does, but only because yet again we are so far removed from our food that we forget normal fruits and vegetables have dirt and bugs and they aren't all uniform in size and they have thing like bruises and blemishes and such. An unbelievable amount of food is wasted because of that. I inquired...

I remember when I was younger I was helping to prepare food at a homeless shelter. I guess the food came from local farms or something. I just remember taking the husks off the corn and having to pull all the caterpillars (?) off from under the husks and I wasn't used to that lol. We moved a...

I was watching a cooking show with the french chef Jacques Pepin. He was using eggs in a recipe and being from France he is also used to unwashed unrefrigerated eggs. He said always crack the egg on a flat surface such as a countertop rather than on the edge of a bowl or glass like many of us...

I assumed the chicken milk lady was playing off of this:
