Funnier mental picture. I was trying to get DH to let me have a chicken in the truck for fresh eggs, and for meat in a few weeks/months. For some reason, he didn't go for it.

I think you can hide a silkie in the truck and he will never know

Until she lays her first egg and starts singing. Unless you can make that noise on a regular basis to get him used to it . . .

Question for the group:

Do quail eggs taste the same as chicken eggs................just smaller?

I think so, just much smaller. My dad raises quail and I have about 10 dozen eggs in my fridge now from our visit this week! If anyone is close to where I'm at, I will gladly give you a dozen. We like to hard boil them and throw them in with red beets. They pickle all the way thru!

The truck is so noisy, he would never hear it. Hmmm...

I think I have a diaper to sew.

Whatever was his reasoning!

You guys are terrible, that's how I ended up with 11 chickens in a little over a year

A list of herbs to use with chickens, . My grandmother used herbs for everything, so why did I not think of this sooner.

Well my girls are being kept quite healthy after ripping up and eating the herbs in my garden. Haha.

My new black Silkie Mutt laid an egg! It's a white egg! e

I have 3 empty feed bags if you want them, Anne. I knew someone here wanted them, so they're stacking up in my garage next to my recycle pile.

We are quite a distance from you. I am in 17967. We travel a bit and are discussing a trip down towards Maryland and Virginia before Thanksgiving. If we are going to be close to your zip during our travels maybe we can arrange a drop off!

My dad is sometimes getting 2-3 dozen quail eggs a day, so we have no shortage. We visit them at least once a week and he always sends us home with a couple dozen!
