He probably could have carried that piano out himself then.

He probably could have. He can almost lift a car up. He takes his shirt off and the girls look at him. But he is an ***. Thinks he knows EVERYTHING and that he is ALWAYS right, no matter what. I hate that. He is JUST LIKE HIS DAD. Thats why I divorced him

And you know you want Silkies!

But I already have some. And I've had them brood for me before. They are much better at it than me, and I'd like to let them.

We love that show. But I'm NOT EVER eating Balut. Never EVER EVER. That's gross! Any way you look at it.. it's GROSS. I would eat bugs and body parts though. If they're cooked.

I'm concerned about the amount of hormones they put in chicken. It's appalling. Our pigs are from my brother's farm, produce is canned from my parents farm, I just need to talk my dad into fattening up a steer and splitting it. They quit doing that when all the kids started moving out. And we're getting some chickens in the spring to butcher.

I just saved a recipe for cheese I saw on Pinterest. I'll FB it to you.

I am all about trying anything once, I love the Show Bizarre Foods with Anndrew Zimmerman ~ BUT he does go alot further than I would in my comfort zone! I am really sketchy about bugs & animal "parts"

I know $$ wise it will never be cheaper than buying at the store,
when I found out that they allow a certain amount of tumors in poultry to be alowed for public sales in grocery strores I changed to myself raising our food. So I now go out on a charter boat to get our years amount of fresh fish & we get to go out on the ocean too! We get our Cow & hog from a local farmer & butchered for us, and Our produce comes from our local farms. So I am trying to be as self sufficient as we can. I mean I do not want to go back to the stone ages, BUt I now know how to make fresh butter, learning how to make cheese YEAH!

All I really know about them is that I have 2 eggs in my incubator right now and that they are suppose to be VERY VERY loud and noisey. They are suppose to be the best alert system if intruders or people and animals they don't know come around. Thats what I read and heard.

That's exactly what I just read on some website. They would have to go to my dad's. Did you find anything about temperment?

From what I've read, it's 50/50. Some people hate them, say they're mean. The others adore theirs and say they are the sweetest geese ever.

They are loud, but usually only when hungry or you have "company" they don't know. I like the sound of their honking, but then again I also like the sound of my guineas, and my hubby cannot wait to eat them !

I just read they are the best for butchering because their meat is the least greasy. And I LOVE the sound of guineas.

So whats up on ebay now??? Any goodies?

I cannot believe the Legbbars went for $90 + 15.75 shipping for 5 eggs, then 1 minute later her second auction went for $91 + 15.75 in shipping last night !!!

Ok, I'm good with that. Of course I'll get the ones that bite the kids booties.

Calm and docile.

OMG I was watching that auction!! I want some so bad. Julie found that ad on Craigslist, and I'm debating just driving there for chicks as opposed to eggs.

Anyway, I saw these on ebay today and saved them in my watch list. I thought you would LOVE them. Could be wrong... but they looked like you. Or whatever.
