I am going to start with the bread and soap this year, I think. <BR/><BR/>I hope your chickens have better luck this year. I keep trying to scheme and figure out how we could get some animals. We have some land, but it's far enough away that it wouldn't be practical to have animals on it. <BR/><BR/>What are your plans for your chickens? Are you going for eggs, meat, or just to have them? I would like them for eggs and meat, but I have issues when it comes to playing with meat. Sometimes I think I am too much of a wussy city girl - that prepackaged, boneless, skinless breast stuff appeals to me. Until you get to the hormones. I work in chicken country. One of my students last semester lost all of her chickens because they didn't get water for 12 hours. They have so many hormones they die after a short time without water. I remarked that that was a good argument against using hormones. Her reply was that then it would take too long for them to grow. Another good argument against hormones. They used to butcher them at about 15 weeks, now it is about 5. Makes me a bit nauseated to think about eating that. Good argument for becoming a vegetarian.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834202614341098791noreply@blogger.com
