  1. I had two main favorites Where the Wild Things Are (for the pictures) Green Eggs and Ham (for the words) I had also read a complete set of encyclopedia, each volume cover to cover, by the time I was 10

  4. I also wanted to remember to add (and forgot) that I've grown millet for our hens before and it worked very well. I didn't try it last summer but plan to again this summer. I didn't have much room and it didn't last to long but it did help I grew around a 10ft by 10 ft patch of millet and gave it very little care and it grew wonderfully. I planted it fairly dense many seeds close together. I did have some problem with the smaller birds eating it but I had planned to give them some anyway. At the time I had around 15 hens and a duck and I turned them out in the millet pen when there was a lot of snow on the ground. It lasted them about 2 months. Millet is really just edible grass seeds and humans can eat it as well.
  5. We've always made a profit from our hens. We have more this year then ever before (30 laying hens) and altho we do buy feed they free range and eat very little. In just the eggs we eat there's a profit, I bake a lot and free range eggs at the stor were almost 4.00 a dozen last i checked. plus we sell eggs at 2.00 a dozen and sell out each time. I buy chops (cracked corn) and non-medicated egg pellets (mainly for the ducks) and mix it. I run egg ads on places like craigelist and local yahoo sale groups and deliver them to the city once a month. The egg sales pay for all the feed and the gas for the trip. All the eggs we eat are a bonus and we eat a lot and feed them to the cats and dogs and poultry as well. If you feed some of the egg shells back to the hens they'll never need shell from the feedstore.
