If she dips down in to Nashville she can get gas for $3.11 a gall.... maybe cheaper. My car gets nearly 500 miles to a tank of 18 gal. Fill up before you go and on your way back at the cheapest gas and you have saved even more...... It only cost about $60 to fill up AND you would have gas left.... maybe only $40 in my car.

What every happened to the chicken, egg train idea we had a LONG time ago? ..... I digress..... she wants eggs NOT chickens

HaHa, let me know how that goes for you. Every time I turn around another hen has claimed a nest box some where and I have a whole line of girls waiting and complaining that "So -and-So" is on their favorite spot. Not like there aren't plenty of other nest boxes, we have nice metal 5 x 2 units and they only lay in like 3 of them. I have a White Cochin who just hatched 5 guineas for me and the rest of the girls are sitting on what ever they could steal. The Partridge Cochin on infertile guinea eggs, the gold laced Wy on 3 of unknown origin, the other GLW I keep kicking out of the favorite spot in the hay shed, 2 Cuckoo Marans, and an EE that I am keeping on "air". I have shipped guinea eggs in the bator, if the air cells are stable when I candle at day 7 I'll give them out to a couple of the girls. I have a couple of ducks getting ready to hatch too, so I may stick them under someone just to watch them follow the hen around the yard. We found the white turkey hen, she had hijacked the guinea nest w/ about 20 eggs, no mature male guinea tho so she's out of luck. It's a cute idea, guineas following a turkey, but I'd rather have her laying anyway.
