Fat Chickens get laid more
eggs.
I tell you it is because of the steroids in the feed.:eek: :cool: :p :blush: :D :eyebrow: :neutral: :yelgreedy :headshake :o :greenface :mad2: :thepain: :3_eyes: :mad: :) :sniff: :3eye: :rolleyes: |
I tellya, it's true - no steroids, just feed store crumbles, weeds, and moldy hamburger buns. :)
I've got about 4 dozen eggs in the fridge right now and only four birdies out back. They're hard working gals! |
What do you do with all those eggs? Does your family really eat that many?
|
Seen em me self! Hens get all the cock!
|
Nope. It's only one egg a day per chicken, so you'd think we could keep up, but I guess we're sick of eggs. :) We give a lot away to friends.

Chickens may not be fed steroids, but they are fed antibiotics.

Actually, I think you mean to say the fat chickens get FILlaid more.

Once again taking a clone thread and rambling in it...
I've known quite a few people who have brought eggs into work to distribute. I love them, I always have my hand up (no, not just because they're free!) but I'll only take two or three. Same with fruit trees, people always seem to be overly blessed (strained Milton reference). My sister and I used to go and visit an old lady that lived in the flats at the end of our path. She had a ground floor flat, and Mrs Fox was a very keen gardener (and would have been brought up to Dig For Victory!) She always gave us apples to take home late summer, and Mum would groan because she could barely use them before another bag arrived. It was hard for us to refuse though, especially as Mum was delighted by the strawberries and rhubarb earlier in the year. It confused me as a child because there is a small leathery eating apple called Cox, which was the surname of another of Mum's friends. But Mrs Fox gave us cooking apples, green and big as turnips, tempting to the eye but not suitable for the fruit bowl. |
You don't eat green apples, Sundae? Is that just you, or a more general British thing? They're the only kind I'll eat.
|
No, these are specifically cooking apples. We do have green eating apples, although few are home-grown these days - France has a bigger landmass and lower population per square mile than us, so they can give more land to orchards. Saying that, I am such a fan of Braeburn (French apple) I can hardly complain.

I don't eat the little green apples and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime...
