That would be funny!! Not me though. I ordered from eggcartons.com last year and have only used about a 3rd of them. Folks at work who buy my eggs are real good about giving mine back along with other ones from stores. Could be Big Arce thou. They have yellow cardboard ones on hand.

Hey everyone!

We had a nice time at the butterflies, way too many people there! Also cost a pretty penny, oh well, it was still neat.

My FIL thought it would be a good idea to see what Family Farm had on the way home. I was really good and didn't buy any more pet chickens.......but, they had 19 3 week old meaties for .99 cents each! I couldn't pass them up, they are already 3 weeks old and UGLY. I figured at least I didn't have to feed them for the first 3 weeks that should help with the feed cost a little. I put them in a brooder in the garage until I am sure they can stay warm enough out in the tractor.

Ok, off to take the kids to the pool for a swim. Have a great Friday night everyone!

Hi everyone! Popping in late today! After Maya's therapy this morning, I met Rose at the mall in our usual spot, next to Macy's and picked up my two new little slw cockerels! Cute little boys!! They are going to replace my current slw roo who seems to shoot blanks. Thanks Kristin and Rose!!

Daycare Mom, we went to see the butterflies yesterday, or tried to. We got there about 10:45 and there was a line about 100 yards long, clear to the end of the sidewalk at the end of the parking lot! We left and went back today. We were there at 8:55 AM, and about 4th to go through the ticket line.

The butterflies were waking up well, as the sun was peeking out. Since we've recently moved from central MI to SE Grand Rapids area, which is only about 18 minutes away from Meyer Gardens, we bought a family membership. I figured for the 4 of us, just two trips there in one year equaled the membership fee!

It was my husband's first time there and he was a bit overwhelmed by the crowd in the buildings by the time we left at 1:30 PM.

We stopped on the way home at a pet store and bought a bag full of little crickets. My husband and I just finished watching the chicks that came from the Hatchery on Wednesday run all over the place going for a few little crickets that they ate with glee, a let at a time. I wasn't sure they could handle moving grub yet, but they went at those critters like they'd been hunting them for weeks. What a hoot to watch. We then got really brave and gave them some tiny, thin worms from the garden and that provoked another riot in the brooder (in our case because the hover didn't get built, just materials collected, our brooder is the Jacuzzi in the main bathroom, which makes, I think, a very nice brooder for 13 pullets, at least for now

Well, off to find a recipe for a spinach frittata for dinner.
