Yum... I have heard that these butters are really good and good for you in moderation!

Have you seen the recipes where they mix it in with oatmeal and nuts and whatever else you want to add? It sounds to die for. I always eat breakfast but I need something that is hardier.

Oh my Michelle, that sounds SO good!

I haven't thought of adding avocado and tomatoes to egg salad!

Ya, but what's it for? What does it do?

It certifies that your animals are healthy, in good condition. Alot of people that sell hatching eggs are NPIP certified.

National Poultry Improvement Plan.

Would most places selling chickens use this? Like Atwoods or Orshlands?

That sounds delicious.

I'm eating Chili Cheese Fritoes drinking a Mug root beer. Very healthy.

I want what Dacjohns is having!

Now to decide what kind of chocolate to eat.

Need some water too. Finished the root beer.

Milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses. I can scarf those down without feeling guilty about not savoring good chocolate.

Actually, NPIP only certifies that the flock does not currently have Pullorum or Typhoid, not that they are healthy. It was created to protect the food supply many years ago, not for backyard flocks. Hatcheries are usually NPIP, but that doesn't mean they are mycoplasma-free at all, which is one of the most common diseases of backyard flocks. It has limited use for backyard flocks, IMO. Only the person raising the birds can be certified, not the distributor, like Tractor Supply or Atwood's.
