Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

No worries, just hold on to them, the trend of our food prices will get you there

 

I see they’re all hens in the picture; do you need a rooster in the brood? I have raise chicken when I was kid back home, but we didn’t have the sophisticated set up as this.

 

If you leave the eggs unwashed and put them in the fridge they will last up to 6 months, or you can water lime store them for up to a year.

How do you figure, my calendar says it Monday...

 

Sunday is the first day to me

 

I knew there was something wrong with them Virginian schools! They've been teaching you to count wrong, Sunday is the 7th day...

I'm not I say, I'm not starting the week on a day of rest!

 

I agree with the day of rest, look at a calendar though......Sunday is the 1st day of the week

 

A 96” long shaft, turned down on each end to 1.9375” with a .250” keyway. Seems small but whatever.




The other mill just got done drilling 768 5/16” holes.

 

That's just a setting, you can adjust that from how the heathens on the west coast think we should be living...

 

No roosters here, they're not required unless you want to raise your own chicks.

 

If left unwashed, eggs don't need refrigeration either. Ours just sit on the counter. We've also water glassed extra eggs in the past. 6 dozen fit nicely in a 2 ½ gallon pail. They are good for a year, also without requiring refrigeration, although they get a bit watery and are best scrambled, or used in baking. We have gone a full year (maybe a bit more) just to experiment.

 

Yea, I remember mother hen incubated her eggs for about three weeks then we heard cheeping sounds under her.

 

My better half was out this morning and bought 2 dozen eggs from a neighbor. I just heard on the radio, that today is apparently national egg day.

Lotta egg stuff goin' on suddenly.

 

It sounds like a good idea for the poll

 

New poll

 

There was a big fire at a egg laying facility in Minnesota last week. It is unclear if or how this will effect egg prices in the near future.

Didn't know we had so many eggsperts in the house

 

I brought balance to the poll!

 

Interesting.....

I was at a funeral a couple of years ago and met one of my brother in laws cousins. He is from Minn or WI and their family has somewhere north of 1 million layers as well. He also told me about one of their barns burning some years back. He has a very peculiar name, looked like a hippie from the 60's, and is a lawyer.

He said they sold mostly to big companies like McDonald's and huge bakeries. They pick up the eggs in tanker trucks and transport them as a liquid.

 

That’s up in my neck of the woods, Baldwin county Alabama is just across the line in Alabama. I did a lot of my Coast Guard time at Sector Mobile, AL. Is your BIL a crew chief or rescue swimmer? Those guys were lucky, both for having a sat phone and a helo close by.
