Bare in mind this was during the great depression, but I was told several years ago by an older lady that they would take the eggs that showed clear at first candling and eat them. Not sure if they were using them in recipes, hardboiled, fried, or whatever. Times were tough and they were hungery. She and her husband were doing well many years after the fact, so I'm betting your birds could handle it fine.

Ah ha. Thanks, Gary. They'll be getting a nice breakfast in the morning.

What a drive!
I don't blame ya. I did the same when we moved here. I was sleeping on the living room floor in an empty house for awhile lol. Good luck moving the flock! I'm no good at construction, but I can catch a chicken, if you need any help.

Yup! They all have nn (with a bowtie on some) with the floofy silkie crest. The approved breed term for them is "Naked Neck Silkies" so that should be the standard to judge them from.

This group will be a surprise when it comes to color! l had my dark blue showgirl hens in with a blue silkie roo, black silkie roo and a black SG roo. One of the girls, Beyonce, tosses out an occasional white, but the majority are blues and blacks. They should start hatching tomorrow, God willing, and I will keep you up to date on what appears. Christmas in September!

OOHH Yeah!!!

I've heard of other people doing it with success but I've never done it myself. I've given mine the shells the chicks hatch from to eat. I rinse them out first of course but have never had a problem doing that.

Well one horse mostly clipped, need to finish her head, she struck out and kicked me in the jaw and made me sick enough that I had to come take a break. Bit my jaw and tounge hard enough to cause them to bleed. Made me mad enough I almost was going to make a sale paper when I got inside the house for her. Grrrr, dumb horse. Eh, maybe it's dumb owner. I do have to put myself in some precarious spaces too clip these guys and she's hotter then a firecracker anyway. I think she dislocated my finger too. Uhg

Oh my!! I hope you are ok. Didn't break your jaw did it? Take care!
