I remember when we were kids. If anyone had more than a simple cold, my mother would boil the silverware on the stove.

It's not crazy. A boyfriend lent me a book he was reading. It reeked of his Brut aftershave. I kept smelling the book and smelling the book and smiling until I thought I would O.D. Then I started following men in the store if I caught a whiff of Brut. When my brother started using Brut - I was cured. Quit Cold turkey.

I kept my mom's favorite apron until it lost her scent that was on it along with the 'cooking' smell that I aways associated with her. So not so silly. I think I just threw it out when we moved as it was literally falling apart. Funny the things we hold on to for years.

Been out working on feeders. My PVC feeder needs some revision on it. It will feed pelleted food without problems but not granular, especially if it is mash texture. Sometimes the local MFA or ADM gets the feed ground too fine. When that happens I'm forever reaching up and pulling the feed down. DH said he would re-engineer it for me but in the interim I've switched them over to bucket feeders which I love. ZERO waste.

MSN has a news story about white and brown egg--Why brown eggs are more expensive:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddr...pensive-than-white-eggs/ar-AAtJrMB?li=BBnb7Kz

The article makes the claim that white eggs are lain by white chickens and brown eggs are laid by reddish brown chickens...Ignoring the facts of egg shell color!

At the top of Henderson's chicken chart we have breeds that are not white colored that lay white eggs:
Anconna
Andalusian
Appenzeller

Not to mention that there are brown and other color leghorns that lay white eggs.

I wonder if the author thinks that blue chickens lay blue eggs...

...and Icelandics...they can be any color and lay white eggs.

I am posting full details and lots of pictures on my thread, Helpful hints for building coops.

Hard to see the wire, but it stretches along both rows of t posts. The cattle panels arch from the top of the fence and over to the top of the other fence. The guineas are going to love it because it is high. Co designed by Aart and another person on here i think.
