There's nothing like fresh eggs. The stuff you get in markets pales in comparison. If you want a couple of cheap chickens, go to one of the battery farms and ask them for a couple they're going to retire. They'll gladly give you a couple. The chucks will produce 1-2 eggs a day each and you'll get the lovely warm feeling from knowing you've let them see their days out in the fresh air. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

Yeah, esteem from people who don't know you and u dun wanna know. Comfort is precisely the point; that's why I drive a large (old) car rather than a new tin-box. And as it happens, many brand new cars are more unreliable until the warranty work has been sorted out, hehe. |
