While I do understand the food issues I feel it better that those who make "safe" foods label and all other is buyer beware. See I would not want to label my food as say "contains no nuts" When I don't know for sure that some of it may not have been in contact with equip used for processing nutz.

Just because your a nut does not mean you are contaminating the food.

Quote: My son has deadly food allergies. I understand. Believe me.

My youngest(16) is deathly allergic to peanuts, Epipen and all. When they test him yearly, they do peanut on one arm and ALL other foods and plants on the other, otherwise he throws false positives.

Our 5 have been laying for a few weeks now. 4 eggs per day, every day for the last week. Then yesterday nothing. I looked a couple of hours later and one of the RIRs was sitting in the nest box. She growled at me when I checked under her, but there were no eggs. So I wonder if she's chasing off the other hens. Maybe they're laying in the holly bush, or somewhere the dogs can get the eggs.

Your RIR is likely broody.

I do not post much but had to say Sweetlilbaby sorry for your lose, we to had a lose. This past week we had to down our 14 year old dog. It was very hard due to the fact that my DD is only 17, so she has had the dog ( oink ) her whole life, so know we all feel your pain.

Sorry to hear you lost your dog, too, RainyDayChicken

OK guys quick question... what kind of bators do you have? I need an easy to use one. My daughter wants to hatch chicks for her class.... Next question What kind of fertilized eggs does everyone? I think it would be fun to let her pick out a few different breeds. Thanks in advance.

I had the brinsea mini automatic - it was awesome. Here is a hatching video from when I had it (I sold it to 4H kids when my hubby said no more inside chicks!)

Met up with Just Bugged and her DH and look what I brought home!!!!!
I hope hope hope at least one of them will be a pullet!
Thank you, JB!

SO ADORABLE!!! Look at those little frizzle butts!

LOVE, so cute!

Dawng and I are just north of Seattle in Kirkland and Kenmore.
We went once before and it was fabulous! Well worth the drive.
Who wants to join us?
PM me and we'll figure out the details.
Come one, come all!

where is the play? can we carpool?

The play is in Olympia. There is one more spot in my car, currently Honeysuckle Hills and Terrorbird are going.
Ruth messaged me on FB and offered me the spot in your car

No way -- too risky.

I could not live with the guilt that I made something that made people sick.

Carrot Sticks or plates and napkins

I need to place an order for egg cartons. I'm looking at the view-able 1 dozen, pulp cartons. I can either order 250 for 76 bucks (30 cents ea), or 2,200 for 520 (23 cents). If there is enough interest, I was thinking that there is probably time to have an order for 2,200 shipped to me and I bring some to Monroe.

Two thousand two hundred egg cartons - is a LOT -- who wants a few hundred?

Oh my goodness that chick hatching was so cute. I cant wait. I hope my kids are home from school when they hatch.

They are gonna love it. I eventually want a brinsea but right now I just cant afford one.

I thought the Brinsea was cheaper?
Where are you getting your Hovabator and how much ?

You should blow that egg and frame it like a businesses first dollar. Congratulations

I actually joked with my coworkers that I would do that But I don't know how, and I don't know where I'd keep it! For now, I'll just take lots of photos
