LOL - Sandy, I've been dealing with gnarly little dinosaur feet for a few days now. I'll trade you.

Jaye, I honestly don't know what I'd do, or who I'd call LOL! I wear gloves ... Chicken feet FREAK ME OUT! Prehistoric and scaly like lizards and long nails...like my worst nightmare wrapped up in 2 legs...blah!

Surgical gloves I guess.

Mind you the Silkie loves to wrap her toes around my fingers and I'm getting better at not dropping her. JUST KIDDING! (Maybe)

Ok somebody please help me to understand this. Worms and their eggs are in the digestive tract, right? Eggs are built in the reproductive system. At what stage of development does the egg end up in the digestive tract? If it is early enough to get worms in it, how come we never find feces in eggs?

There are different types of worms, some of them microscopic in size, but most importantly, as mentioned before, it would have to be incredible load to make it in to an egg.
For more detailed info,
the Chicken Health Handbook by Gail Damerow is a great resource.
Caution, if you read the book from cover to cover, you may decide it's simply too scary to raise chickens

Where's Robbie? She's got an awesome story about one of her professors who had a pet bot fly larvae. I think it was Robbie. There's not many creepy crawly stories that make me squick, I like most creepy crawlies, but that was definitely one of them.

I found the piperazine..so tomorrow Pipes for everyone!! And I might be forever scared of hard boiled eggs. Even scrambled today had me looking good.
Maybe I'm too ocd for poultry ...

I think we'll spare Sandy that story......... until she's tougher. And we're not going to talk about 100 year old eggs or Balut either.
