my sister feeds her dogs raw chicken.

Double Barf!
Does she pluck them first ?
I do not think feeding a dog raw chickens is a good idea from both the disease/parasite standpoint, and the fact that I really and truly do not want my dogs to EVER realize that these birds are food!!!

She does not raise chickens. She buys it from Wal-mart or an CSA.

I would suggest a mix. We started out with RIR (2) BR (2) golden sexlink(2) California White (1) white leghorn (2)

The first FULL month of them ALL laying, we got 229 eggs !!!

. YES I keep track EVERY DAY of how many white and brown eggs I get

I won't ( can't) tell you what my DW calls me

Out in the yard, finishing potting soil, and planted my squash and pumpkin seed in the grow room...and all of a sudden, without warning!!!

A honey bee landed on me !
On my arm!!!
he acted very hungry, whirled around and off she flew...maybe time to put some sugar water out ?
There is nothing blooming yet.........

What does the BeeRustler say ???

Oh what a gorgeous day!!!
Illia may get her wish of a long dry summer !
I hate the fire season though !

So, should we put out sugar water with a rock in it for the bees ?

not sure where the bees are kept, one of my ta's in my entom class is doing her masters or Phd on bees.

right now i am in plant propagation, biology 107, and entomology 340 labs. haven't gotten to see the bees. maybe they have some spare queens?

Oh I want a few too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
