Awesome day in Israel! We started in Tel Aviv / Joffa, traveled to Ceasarea, had lunch near Mt. Carmel and we are staying at a Kibutz near Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee. This Kibutz has a meat bird coop with over 30,000 birds... totally amazing. auto feeders and waterers.... all look like Cornish X.

That is amazing ! What a great memory to have the rest of your life. I hope you got lots of pictures

Another first egg today. Exactly 6 months old today but not sure who laid it. I used a $ to as a visualizing device. The egg is the same size as the oval picture frame of a dollar bill. Too cute. I have to wait to show the kids before I break it open.

Who layed the tiny egg ?

Organic and natural are terms that may not convey what you think they do. Poop is natural and organic. Rocks are natural. Beware of the semantics.

I wouldn't eat either.

As to the question of eating fresh or stored eggs, in the war in Viet Nam, we ate dehydrated eggs that were laid in the 1930's. It didn't kill us, but it sure gave us another outlook on sponge rubber.

My wife's uncle use to do the crop dusting on the "organic fields" where the products were sent to these "health stores". He said they used the same pesticides just less amount and less frequent. I've read your suppose to be able to coat an egg in vaseline or something similar and store it at room temperature for several months. Don't think I want to try it though.

Actually, the substance recommended was "waterglass", and you could overwinter the eggs.. Never tried it myself, but my Grandmother told me about it. (they didn't have refridgerators back then)... Will

My one and only Serama. Pretty sure "she" is a hen. I hope she isnt one of those "micros". She sure is tiny and about 3 months old in the pics. Can anyone tell by these pics if she is? Thanks!

Not a chicken story but just showing my new goat baby "Smiley" with his new friend "Clonie". They are best buddies and romp around all day!

Puffycheeks, where you get that shirt!?
My Grandbaby Goat! Awwww
Why wouldn't you want the Serama to be a micro? I would want mine to be the tiniest I can get?
Such cute chicks!
