Or raise your own chickens. Ick, to each his own. I don’t understand the popularity of raising backyard chickens but the direction our food supply is going, I may have to reconsider. It’s going to take a lot of reconsidering since I haven’t recovered from raising 100+ of them back in high school. The Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks had good dispositions but those evil White Leghorns would dive bomb anyone who went into the coop and they’d fight each other. Mean things. Glad to see them off to the grill.
The kittens have their eyes open this morning. Mama hasn’t moved them into the larger box. Something is going to have to give since the little fur balls are nearly half her size already. She was grumpy and didn’t want me around but still was eager for breakfast. LOL, the bouncy slobber bucket insisted on making a quick trip into town with me yesterday and walked right by their box to get into the car but was clueless and never looked over there. Got back home and went straight into the house still clueless. Some watch dog, not!
Off to handwater the side beds and turn on the sprinklers. Need to pick some beans to go with pork chops tonight, yum.
Just heard on Dr. Oz a few days ago that Congress is going to ok processing in China. Granny’s roosters were mean and they always tried to flog me.
I used to collect the eggs, and it was scary between the snakes and the roosters.
I wouldn’t raise chickens for any reasonw other than food safety and self reliance. Eggs that are deep yellow due to allowing free range are rich in Vitamin K2. This vitamin has been practically deleted from our diets due to the current factory methods of raising beef, pork, and chickens.
