Arizona Chickens

I saw this laboratory-grade incubator for sale on craigslist ... wish I could get it, but A) I really don't see myself breeding that many chickens, and B) I really shouldn't spend the money.

Unless someone would want to go in on it and co-op the use of it ...

Lutefisk taste like rotten mulled fish.

We have left overs we have to eat first. And Monday I am invited to a BBQ in Minneapolis. So we will have it later. I have to make lefse. [VIDEO]

In Norway a village was discovered, lost to an avalanche, and abandoned. A stash of preserved cod was found. Estimated over 200 years old. A few of the dried cod (same preservation as done to day) was reconstituted, lutefisk. It tasted exactly like preserved dry cod only a yr old. It is indestructible, the archaeologists believe that it could have sat for another 200 or more years and still be good to eat....... DID THEY SAY GOOD TO EAT?

Lutefisk is an acquired cultural taste. Kind of like the tripas the Mexicans down here love. I am disgusted by both!

When mine were younger I had to pick them up and place them in the coop at dusk. Like they didn't know that was where they were supposed to sleep. It was so cute once they got a little more mature when they put themselves to bed! We would stand around the coop and wait for them to decide it was time then watch them gather around and go up the stairs to the roost bars. I think you sort of have to train them for a couple weeks.

I usually shut my chickens up in the coop for about 10 days so they become acclimated to it and so far no problems with them returning at dusk.

Have not posted in a while but I am constantly lurking in this thread. Need help deciding. I have a empty pen, two incubators (one does 70 eggs and the other does 10) and an itch that needs to be scratched. But........ can't decide which way to go. I want a project. I want to hatch and then improve a single breed pen. Not as concerned about chicken appearance as quality of eggs. Can't decide between going Darkest brown, brightest olive, or brightest blue.......... Help me decide!!!!!

Olive! I love my olive egger! She is a dark chocolate brown with some irisescent black/green tail feathers. I love the dark brown eyes, so soft and cute. I would buy a couple pullets from you if you this (or an Easter Egger). Can I borrow your 10-egg incubator! I want to try to hatch some Trader Joe's eggs.

I would say blue. Sellers of eggs are always wanting a colorful dozen and a unique blue would be a good seller for you.
