The trader joes chicks are hyline white hens crossed with hyline brown

We have a trader Joe's near us, but I'm not sure if they have the fertile eggs. Maybe I'll take a trip there to see

In my county we have a bee association that will come out and set up bees on our property. It doesn't cost anything at all, but I'm sure they would like to receive a donation to their association. I'm thinking of doing this in the spring. My neighbor had a friend drop off a few bee hives, so I may wait to see if those bees also pollinate our trees.

That's nice. We have to buy everything in order to have bees in our area. I wish it was like that everywhere.

If it is legal in your state. Laws are different everywhere. For instance you can sell raw milk in Vermont directly from the farm or a store/stand owned by the farm. But of course there are increased insurance costs so a lot of dairies don't sell raw. Other states allow raw milk sales but not for human consumption. Other states don't allow it at all.

I used to have a friend who sold it. It's legal here. She was selling it in a health food store.

I don't bother with the alerts, I "live" on the Forums page and just click "Watched", it takes me to the first unread post of the thread when I click on the title.

I go to alerts to see if someone quoted me in order to respond to them first. Then I go to the watched threads and forums. But, you've just explained why it doesn't always throw me into the middle of the discussion. Of course it does that when I'm responding directly to an alert. Why didn't I think of that?

Now that I'm finally caught up...I don't remember who asked about the salted vs unsalted butter, but the answer is you can absolutely only buy unsalted and then add salt when you want salted. I buy both because I cook with unsalted, but I like the salted on my toast or on the dinner table for vegetables. It's convenient. So they make it and sell it for lazy folks like me.

It was me and thanks! I think it is easier to just have one kind and we don't use much salt anyway, probably wouldn't even notice the difference in a recipe if we used unsalted and left out the salt.

Oh, so you buy the Peanut butter and Jelly that come in the same jar too? I always figured that was a solution looking for a problem.
