Oh my!
I'm so excited to make that! I just need to get a hold of the ingredients and it will be the first thing on the menu! Thanks, I've never found anything like those sites before, I just didn't know what to google.

Question for those of you who have done this chicken thing long enough that you aren't checking for eggs 10 times a day

Do you check for eggs any time you feel like it, even if there's a hen in the nest boxes, or do you wait until they're all empty so you don't disturb them? Sometimes when I go out there there's hens in the nest boxes and most of the time I leave them alone; I guess I'm afraid of scaring them out of the box and missing out on an egg for the day. Will they just come back if they're ticked off that I disturbed them?

Yes, we've searched the earth over for a "cheese" that does not contain dairy, gluten, or soy. It does not exist!!

One thing we do cheat on is butter. It seems whatever process is used to make butter from milk actually breaks it down in a way that it doesn't affect the kids when we use it sparingly. For that reason, we use butter in some cooking, or on popcorn as a treat. As far as a spread, we also cheat occasionally and use Earth Balance "buttery spread"; it contains soy which affects Jeanine badly, but everyone else is fine on it so we use it sparingly on stuff like GF corn bread. So, there's ways to not be quite as miserable, in fact the more we get into this diet the better off we are
I wonder if ghee would work for you. It's clarified butter.

Wow. That's amazing! 2,000 lbs in ONE growing season.

That's crazy! Wow! The day we went to the fair my husband and I were chuckling as we saw a giant pumpkin that was being towed from Auburn to the fair. We were trying to figure out how they got that thing onto the trailer.

I haven't been doing this for long, and only have two laying, but I go ahead and look in the nest box even if there is a hen in there. I lift her butt up they never seem to mind. The only time they leave the nest box is if I feed them, Ginger will run out and eat and then go back to the nest.

Thanks! I have been reaching under them sometimes for eggs and occasionally one will leave and I never know if she comes back or not; we just don't have all day to spend out there observing what they do half the time, LOL! What's nice is the chickens whose eggs I really know well; My 2 laying EEs, my olive egger, Welsummer, BCM...I always know if they laid that day, but everyone else I have no clue whose eggs are whose because they're all too similar in color (light tan)!
