Maybe you could get a strapping teen to carry it home for you?

I am the strapping teen, lol. If I really needed to, I can always balance things on my bike... just yesterday I brought home an entire bench off the side of the road for my chickens that way.

Thanks, you really made me appreciate having a car!

Yeah well now I have to make you unappreciate it— too much traffic for me to bike through.


Uhhhhhhh how about those gas prices?

I'm very isolated. The nearest Wal-Mart or feed store or town of any size is 30 miles away. My nearest neighbor, a quarter of a mile. I'm in my mid-60's and not great health. High gas prices mean I just plan my trips to town a little more carefully. And I'm even more grateful to have a car. Be grareful for your youth and strength.

Oops, sorry, I put my answer within the quotes.

Huge bag oyster shells, $10.00 and change. Haven't bought grit in awhile.

I honestly don't know what I pay for it. I buy it from tractor supply and add anise flavored grit to it.
My question is: How do you get your hens to eat it??? My younger girls eat it fine but my 3 older girls want only recycled, lightly toasted eggs shells with smidgen of yolks on the side. Lol.
