And if I fall asleep at 6 p.m., as I did last night, completely missing Dr. Becker’s chat, Liz can give both talks. After all, she has an article in the new Chickens magazine, which I went to look for in two places yesterday, only to come up empty! SOLD OUT said the woman at the feed store.
But, I did score copies of Goats and Urban Farming mags.

My husband and I had the most delicious eggs ever, although I normally skip eating the ovals. The eggs were from a local farm but sold at Whole Foods and the chickens were pasteur-fed.
I was questioning myself about the green egg and then I remembered Gina had different colored eggs from some of her chickens, so I know it will be good, also.

Yes, two of my hens lay green-shelled eggs. The rest have various shades of brown, except for the speckled Hamburg, who lays small white eggs.

Yes, there was a white egg in the dozen, too.
I know the farm and they usually grow organic food and sell same at out-door market in the Springtime.
The label on the eggs does say pasteur-raised, so I correct the pasteur-fed statement I made.

Liz, Gina & Christie, thanks so much for the chats last evening. I think everyone enjoyed both topics along with the wealth of information provided.

Thanks! I sure enjoyed it. :)

In the Life section of the Ft. Collins Coloradoan, there is an article about “Pecking Away at Pollution”. For Frye, the man owning the chicken farm in this article, it means the chicken manure might be worth more than the chickens. How about that!
