Good one...hahaha!

One of my husband's co-workers brought BBQ mealworms and salt & vinegar crickets to work last week. DH tried the mealworms and said they weren't bad. In a survival situation, insects are a highly nutritious food source.

My almost-three-year-old likes Mommy's scrambled eggs, but he turns his nose up at Daddy's because they "have a bad heart in them" and they "drop in the water." :-) Thought you guys might enjoy that one.

I can't breathe! That is too funny!

Hey, I've got one for you guys! One of my husband's co-workers who is a farmer (as many of them are) recently told him about a conversation he once had with a GROWN man from the city. They were looking at a brown cow when this guy turned and asked him in all seriousness, "That's where chocolate...

Oh dear, I missed the joke! I apologize for the misunderstanding. Now I'll go clean the egg off my face...haha!

That looks like a well-fed, well-cared-for, pampered little pet hen. ;-) I very HIGHLY doubt she was harmed in the process of being strolled, and I would bet my right arm she doesn't live a miserable, confined life in that stroller. The bedding looks fresh and clean...and wait a second...is that...

I agree. In fact, if you look closely, it appears that it's a child's hand pushing the "contraption." Forcing a chicken (or anything, for that matter) to LIVE in something like that would certainly be cruel, but I really don't think that's the situation here.

We can't pick our family, and in most cases, we can't pick our neighbors, either. I've had some good ones AND some iffy ones. Give me a cabin in the boonies any day!

Funny thing, 7 Biddies...like you, we give eggs to our family doc, and he and his family just LOVE them. We also use organic feed, which certainly DOES increase the price of those "free eggs."

I pretty much do the same. I find no sense in giving all those gorgeous, fresh eggs to people who don't value them.

Most of the time, I get honest, well-intentioned questions and comments from curious people who KNOW that they don't know much about chickens. I have no problem with that whatsoever. Rude and condescending...now, that's another story!

I'm not quite sure, honestly. I don't get it either.

Quote: I LOVE it!!! Every chicken keeper I know, my family members included, has to practically gag down store-bought eggs. It's obvious your son has an appreciation for the "good stuff"!

One of my husband's co-workers virtually yelled at my husband that free-range eggs from our farm aren't any different or better than commercial eggs from the store. I would venture to say that he's never had a free-range egg. Also, when my SIL found out we had gotten chickens, she asked us in...
