Be quiet, you cannot teach some folk how to suck eggs. He probably never saw Rocky, either ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I poach eggs, I go into the coop as quietly as I can, and then run out in the cover of night. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marketing genius, both of those! The discount grocery store, Aldi, has cheap 40 Cal/slice - big slices - bread, but what works for my diabetic blood better is their cheap 60 Cal/slice soft whole wheat bread. I think the extra fiber helps keep the sugars from dissolving into my blood too fast: the more processed something is, the easier/faster it usually is for your intestines to process.

MickinMD ★ Posted September 14, 2018 Share #60 Posted September 14, 2018 Note that, in the USA, "cage free" does NOT mean access to outdoors. It simply means the hens are not kept in 8'x8' cages and they can be kept in those big, cramped chicken houses where nutritional liquid nozzles drip. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture is famous for letting producers lie to the public - from carrots being good for your eyes to unusual benefits from milk in adults. "Cage Free" means the same as "Free Range" except that free range chickens are allowed "outside" for at least 15 minutes/day in very large chicken-wire cages.

Dirtyhip Posted September 14, 2018 Share #61 Posted September 14, 2018 Your best bet for humanely raised chicken eggs, at a reasonable cost, would be your neighborhood chicken people. You can get a hookup with locals and buy their eggs. Also, we have a small egg producer here. I have seen their operation. They have a big pasture and these like hoop houses. In the day, you can see the chickens roaming around on fresh grass. It is a lovely operation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
