LFG Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 We get free range eggs from friends and neighbors and the brown eggs that their hens produce are great for dying at Easter. They take the colors much better than the white ones from the grocery store.Who dyes eggs? Bon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFG Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'll take 4 of those black copper eggs scrambled with 2 pieces of buttered toast and 1 cup of caffeinated coffee please.... The black coppers are the only eggs that taste noticeably different. Very rich yolks with extra thick whites westyjs, Dobby and Bon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very docile, roosters are awesome flock protectors, but not aggressive, and they lay those gorgeous eggs Pulletzer... lol Bon and Dobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 How wonderful that you have roosters that lay eggs! I'll bet you got a prize for them too. By the way, some hens do crow. Bon and Dobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, after I posted that I saw how it could be read.I've had a hen that crowed. It's freaky. Makes them sound Lebanese..

lavender Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I was just teasing. With the right mix of breeds you can save money on dye I'm fairly sure that dye is less expensive than chicken feed. Not as heavy either. Met a fellow in the supermarket today who was telling me about his chickens. Said he has over 100 of them at one time and they lived on the farm all by themselves with no human companions. He apparently had a couple of helpful uncles. His last words were, "Don't ever buy a farm." And if you are wondering why I was discussing chickens with a complete stranger in the supermarket that is the way it is around here.

Sanibel Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The problem that I would have if I had four chickens is that I would name them and then get attached to them. When they quit laying, I could never eat them or give them away to someone who might eat them. Soon, I would be running a coop for geriatric chickens!

lavender Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Know someone who gives non-laying chickens to the Amish because she is too sentimental to kill or eat them. I'm sure they take good care of them until they die of natural causes. Dobby, Sanibel and Bon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyC Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 If by "late" you mean post 1997, then I don't blame you for discussing the merits of the local plumbing Speaking of football, PSU was robbed by the Playoff selection committee. I don't think they wanted to play Clemson, either, but how do you send the team that lost to the conference champ ahead of the conference champ? It was fun watching the rout of the Buckeyes, though It's always fun watching them loose Dobby, Bon and LFG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Summerville just outlawed all chickens/ fowl. I just read that whole article. I really don't think it's right for the ones who have had them for years, & I don't mean 5 years either. There are lots of farms in that area, they aren't allowed to raise chickens? If it were me who has raised them for years, I would tell them to go cluck themselves!!! Sanibel, Dobby and Keyser Soze 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can write a ordinance allowing them then a rural area should be able to. Bon and Dobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
