Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

When I went into the coop thismorning, I saw the same hen chewing on her rubbery egg shell. That is twice this week. I don't care. She seems healthy, and she is older (as I have mentioned a few times before). I reached under her (anyone else feel weird doing that?) and put the other egg in a new box. So far I have had girls lay in one new box, but they decide to lay their egg in the usual box. I only expected to collect three eggs, and wasn't expecting all three for another hour or two.
So.... I just went in, and not only did I have an egg in the other new box (I am pretty sure I only put an egg in one of them

) but I had FOUR eggs to collect. I had a perfect day!!!!!

It must have been the celery yesterday.
 
I got 6 yesterday, 2 from the morning and found the other 4 under Violet when I moved her last night. I did decide to put her with everyone else in the end... so ... she grumbled a little bit but stayed put with everyone.

tonight, I got home a few minutes later than last night... and the roost is intact, yet empty. they are all roosting in the back, except for... Violet... she was keeping the 3 eggs from today nice and toasty for me... she grumbled again about being picked up, she was so warm... but I brought her in to the enclosure and plopped her next to Si. they are all in a different order tonight, little Peach has herself all snug between Rose (RIR) and Royce. I almost couldn't find her, as Rose had her wing over her... awwww

W4W, it's not easy to avoid wheat, the stuff is insidious! it's in so many things that you wouldn't imagine it would be... I'm so sensitive, I can't even eat the stuff that is manufactured in the same facility/machinery as wheat products. I wouldn't dare walk into a bakery ~ microscopic wheat flour dust might be in the air! Celiacs also cannot have barley or rye. Spelt flour is a cousin of wheat, really good, but not suitable for celiacs... grrrr... but might be good for you and your family to try. I use lots of corn flour, rice flour is okay for lots of things but is very dense for baking, stuff turns to brick... bread/cakes made from tapioca flour are great when eaten fresh from the oven, but once the item is even a few hours old, it becomes sandy in texture... I don't bake a lot, I gave up a long time ago... Udi's brand breads are fabulous if a bit pricey, and Tinkyada brand pastas can't be distinguished from wheat pasta, but at $3+ lb, also pricey... bread and pasta are luxury foods for me... the bread is .50 cents a slice minimum, and as much as $2 (for one bagel) I eat a lot of beans, and veg... GF baked goods are usually loaded with fat and sugar to make up for the missing gluten, doesn't help the waistline... but if you can convince your son to avoid it for a while, and he improves... whether or not he gets tested, it would make sense to limit it as a lifestyle. my younger brother is not a celiac, but he is wheat intolerant, barley and rye don't bother him, but give him wheat and watch out! he ate pasta at a restaurant and started blowing farts that made my eyes water!
for me... going GF was necessary, but not a cure. at this stage, I've got advanced secondary celiac, with lesions on the brain, a severe B-12 deficiency that is a perfect MS mimic... that caused some issues with my docs, they were so sure that I had MS and was misdiagnosed 26 years ago... but it's not... I can eat things with B-12 til the sun comes down, but my body will not absorb one drop of it. So... I get a shot of it at least every month, sometimes more often if my level won't come up. B-12 juice really hurts when it's coursing through a muscle, hurts for 18 hours... the cortisone shots are for anti-inflammatory purposes, those hurt so bad... I try to avoid inflammatory foods, (mostly the nightshade plants) as they don't make me feel good either...
ok. nuff said. thanks for lettin' me rant a bit...

Wow...and I thought it was terrible that I had to stop eating eggs because of high cholestrol. Hang in there my good friend and rant anytime you feel the need.
