I think I’m gonna go to the store and get some gloves. My hands are so bloody and dry I’ve tried putting Neosporin on them a couple times cause I figured I shouldn’t put the hand lotion on open wounds but I seriously might have to cause. I don’t think the Neosporin penetrates deep enough. Or else I just need to remember to put it on every day and not occasionally. either way, think I’m going to get gloves so I can put it on and let it soak in cause otherwise I can’t do anything cause it gets all over my fingers and everything. This way I can still do stuff. Also probably should stop washing my hands a million times a day and/or stop using dish soap but it’s also cause it’s so cold cause summer it doesn’t do it and I do the same thing.

I just gave him the death stare.

I have one too! Even the animals know it. When I give it to you, you better behave

No chance are was older I had her since day 1. She died though from reproductive issues so I'm sure her laying early didn't help that.

Aw that’s sad!!

I want another olive egger some day. It was such a pain getting the last ones though. She gave me 4 pullets. 3 ended up being Cockerels

Oh wow that sucks!! Some hatcheries carry them now but I know you usually like to buy from breeders. Wonder if it’s possible to make sex linked olive eggers??

I think that the hatcheries screw up a lot and their chicks don't even lay olive eggs.

Hm that’s true. It’s not guaranteed but some of them do!! It just depends!

I'd be mad if my olive egger laid brown I've seen it happen so many times. Eve laid dark mint green eggs I loved her so much

I drink the grocery store kind, but I don't consider it cheap. It's not super expensive but it does cost $5 for only 14 tea bags and sometimes it's on sale for $3 so I stock up.

I want to go to a tea store where you can make your own tea blends.

I want to learn how to make a rose tea because I have a lot of roses and I would like to use them.

Take fresh petals off the roses (preferably in the morning after the dew dries--make sure they haven't been sprayed!) Use the petals fresh or dehydrate on screen or in a dehydrator or layed out on a tea towel or any other method you prefer. Store in glass jars or cloth bags. I like them mixed with black tea or other teas rather than by themselves. I just use wild roses, but any red, pink or white rose should be fine--not sure about other colors.

Better than rose tea is rose jelly. I always just look up a recipe online. Rose jelly is one of life's great pleasures which no one should miss.

I'll have to make rose jelly sometime! Thanks for sharing that. I've never heard of it.
