It reminds me of the animal character from Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy that was genetically engineered to WANT to be eaten and capable of telling you so. "Oh sir, I have gorged myself on corn and I assure you that my liver is of the most succulent nature.... But perhaps you would prefer a slice off my shoulder. I seldom excercise so it is really quite tender." Well this is just plain silly.

Yummy. Occasionally my neighbors gift me with freebies from their roosterless barred rock girls. I think Agatha and her "sisters' are off to a grand start, and wait until you see those beautiful aruacuna egg shells! FYI:I pay $2.59+ tax for my local, free range fresh eggs! Yummy.

Just bought a book "Keep Chickens". Highly recommended even though the writing gets a little twee at times. The author estimates $.50/doz. for eggs from 3 or so chickens. What do you think, Gina? Considering thr quality of the eggs and the entertainment value of the chickens, two bucks plus a dozen might be a bargain. PETA is so scary. Betcha Ilario OWNS the place within weeks.
