Ex Batts good morning one and all!

Have a great day!

Got a decent shot of the last supermoon of 2022 last night, looking towards the Quantocks / Exmoor ; shows how parched the fields are too, though the hedgerows are still bearing up OK. No drought declared here, as yet.

I actually thought it was a fake as the whole youtube channel is really strange, but I found this looking for the name mentioned on the down left corner of the video : https://viscongroup.eu/expertise/hatchery-automation/

This is how I mainly get mine, or add some from my incubator to her. However it's not cost effective. I figured out in 2017 it cost around $7 USA a lb in feed cost. That was non GMO feed to keep 6 hens, a rooster and raising the chicks to 16 weeks. What eggs I ate or sold was deducted from feed cost, which was $4 USA a dz feed cost. I was paying 33 cents a lb for non GMO feed, it's now conventional feed at 70 cents a lb. The farmer I was getting it from sold out.

The local farmers market sold pasture CX fed non GMO for $6 a lb and $5 for brown eggs. ... Not as good as mine but acceptable.

Grocery store sells organic CX for around $3.50 a lb, and the same for organic eggs... but not anywhere close to farmers market items.
