Your own body makes bad cholesterol..regardless of any eggs you eat...but what a horrid  health issue to have when you have so many birds !
Like breeding & raising goats & then you find out you are allergic to goat meat ?????????

I have super low BP, and super low cholesterol................and I eat 3 scrambled eggs a day as my b'fast, with a super thin slice of 87% lean ham, or turkey ham..........and my gut has such an issue with absorbtion....45 years of undiagnosed celiac disease, and a digestive system that (at this point) is not much more than scar tissue, from lips to the very  end )

I wonder if I eat too much butter. I don't like margarine but I do use butter. I have had ulcers so I eat buttered rice and buttered popcorn on a regular basis due to needing a bland diet. I don't eat much meat other than chicken. I have gained weight from less activity since my ankle injury so I need to lose body fat.

It is the first day of Spring and hatching has begun with quail today. The incubators seem to be doing their jobs but fertility is not as high as I had expected. We did start a month early this year, though, and the snow may have had a part in delaying things. I don't usually have many clear eggs so I will see if warmer weather helps. I have also moved some birds around and added a guardian dog so they may still be settling.

We were going to do preventative ivermectin this past weekend but we got busy with other things. I have not seen symptoms of mites but the chickens are due for their routine maintenance. Today was a great day to work outside but I had appointments so I will try getting more done tomorrow.

Suddenly there came a rapping, a tap tap tapping, upon my rear house door. "Tis only some poultry, knocking at the rear house door. Only this and nothing more". Quoth the chicken "Give us treats more"

The best thing that I have done, is Atkins' induction diet...NO CARBS !
What has happened to me is insulin resistant fat ?
The stuff just sticks on your body and no amount of exercise will peel it off.
What I have to do periodically is turn my system from burning carbs (so super easy for your body to do !) but then the body stores every speck of fat......................
So turn the table & go cave man style & no carbs, no rice, no bread, no pasta for as long as it takes.
Follow the Atkins' diet.
The induction is as long as it takes each individual, but about 2-3 weeks.
In this period your body is starved of easy to use carbs & sugars, and has to burn fat instead.
Then carbs are added in a bit at a time.

I love the Atkins diet...it is how I discovered I had celiac disease: when I stopped all gluten & suddenly felt like I was a kid again !

Then when I ate gluten again I was so darn sick.........bedridden sick, barely able to raise my head or breathe.

I eat lots of veggies, some meat for flavor, and attempt to eat 30% of my calories as fat. Butter, olive oil, and bacon fat are added or cooked in. The doctor loves my lipid profile. My HDL is 79. What I severely limit is grains and added sugars. That has kept my borderline diabetes in check with just diet. Last A1C was 4.9.


My sugar consumption comes from my kombucha mostly.

I do consume a decent amount of whole milk since I have no issues with it and it's always been one of the few things I can consume before noon and not get sick.

I eat potatoes regularly. They don't spike my blood sugar like grains do. I use plenty of butter on them

I have blue copper and splashes. Brand new chicks! I'm south of Seattle but could meet you some place in between like Olympia since I travel that was fairly often.

If it helps, I can maybe meet each of you halfway between Oly & Penny...let me know, I am good at transporting

Oh my God, I'm glad I'm not the only one.
