Chicken charms may sound cute but, you know the birds will be pecking off each others band . Then getting lodged in their crop or something.

Diva, I thought the same thing when I first saw them. Mine won't be sporting any of them.

The O2 absorber is like a backup. You can store them in a canning jar with the absorber in it.

Good question. Most cheap dehydrators don't have any temp control, I think mine only got to 120-130? does have a fan. Don't remember, put a thermometer in it once curious. I only make venison or beef jerky with previously frozen meat just in case of parasites, same with pickled fish which cooks chemically with the initial vinegar brine, recommended to be frozen for 48hrs (I wait 30 days :-D)
Someday maybe I'll get a good dehydrator, the Sportsman's Guide has a decent one, where I get some of my sausage supplies from LEM has some nice one's also but both are $$

The Nesco dehydrator I have has a temp control. The problem with dehydrating at 160 is that you will cook the eggs.

If you are using the powdered egg in baking or cooking, scrambling and etc. any bacteria in the powder will be killed. It is similar to eating raw eggs. A minute at 150f will kill all of them. Baking gets much higher and scrambling will too.

My flock does not have e coli or salmonella. They have been tested when I take a dead one in for necropsy.

We interrupt this conversation for a moment of shameless bragging.

Though the most exciting one is this:

That is all, thank you for your time; we now return you to your regularly scheduled conversation.
