I'll have to try that one. I know Organic Pastures is available in Health food stores. Not general grocery stores.

Raw goats milk makes the BEST french toast! And I love making chevre too.

Claravale is at the Davis Co Op. Nugget market in Davis and the Co Op sells Organic pastures.

Their closest location is still too far for me to go regularly.

This shows the legality of raw milk in each state:

I see herd shares are legal in Ohio.

That is great. At least raw milk is still accessible some way.

I finally started on processing the old hens. I picked the golden comet that was one of my first flock. She was close to 7 years old! She had a fully formed egg and eggs forming. Ovaries still had eggs too.

She was not laying much but still could at that age.

She was very fat but in good health. I did not see any cancer so Mareks must not be too bad here.

One down, 6 to go but I will likely only get to 2 of them today.

Wow what a good hen.

Ron I have not had time to separate my flock out yet, I could send you some eggs but you might get some that would be across between cream legbar and Arkansas blue. I figured in the next couple weeks I'll be able to get things sorted out, but my mom's been having let health problems lately.

Thanks!

The second one had un formed eggs but no shells. Several that looked like they got a membrane but then wee absorbed. She was healthy though.

Let me know when you have them sorted out. No hurry with them Chris wants them to be pure sot it is best to wait.

I am sorry about your Mom!

Thanks Ron

Sorry to hear about your mom muttsfan.

Ron - I haven't been able to cull the older layers yet. They just live out their days here. My light brahma is 8. My English Orp (Crazy Orp) is going downhill fast. She is 6 or 7 and losing weight, especially on her breast. She's still comfortable and talks to me when I come in the run, so I'm leaving her be.
