It has a lot more to do with the absolute shit processed food we eat from McDonald's on a daily basis and the 80 oz. of soda we drink. Anyway... do yourself a favor and learn to poach eggs quickly. While I'm not against fried eggs... poached eggs are healthier and delicious. Big Daddy turned me on to taking some soft poached eggs, throwing them on a bed of spinach, tossing it all together with some hot sauce, and eating. For variety, throw in some cilantro, green onions, or whatever else tickles your fancy. Talk about a power breakfast!!!
That sounds great! I am half Danish, so a more traditional Danish style breakfast appeals to me. Cereal and milk, banana, 2 eggs, yogurt, and juice. Sometimes I have homemade bread with butter and cheese, too. No Egg McMuffin or any other fast food breakfast for me!

Chicks chicks everywhere. I don't have the 5month patience for em.

Gonna buy me some layers instead. Always a few of those around.

Good luck with your project. With my limited experience, hand plucking is for the birds.

This brings up another question. From what I've read (and it's mainly from just chapters in urban homesteading books and such, I've yet to read a dedicated chicken book), it's a good idea to get them as chicks and let the kids handle them a lot if you want to treat them as "pets" (and I mean that in the loosest sense of the word. I want my kids to be able to pick them up and **** around with them if they want to). If you get them full grown, then they're not really going to take to people too much. True?

Sex link reds are some mellow ass birds. Shit is hardwired in em.

Zebedee DuBois 03-16-2012 08:24 PM
we've got three backyard hens, an amercauna, a NH Red, and a banded cochin.
they're like pets.

I've only bought full grown birds. They were all friendly to some degree, with a few off-to-themselves types. None were aggressive to me or my three kids. Nor aggressive toward the wife, but that's because they were smart enough to not want me to kill them.


MO, who knows, may get some chicks with some adults, but I'm trying hard to be law abiding, stupid six hen limit.

On the other hand, I go for the spirit of the law every bit as much as the letter, so if you gents come across a rooster that's lost his voice, I'll buy him from you.

A rooster that doesnt crow is a Total long shot, I know it. Accidents happen. Defects. Luck. Gotta cast the net wide, maybe you find one. Surgery is an option, but MOs vet skills demand a premium.
