    I have grain mites AGAIN?!?!?!?!

    I would ask for manager and show him them. Folks so to just feed to birds as they eat bugs all day. Old wives tale is using spearmint gum sticks to ward off weevils also they hate the smell of bay leaves.

    I got my 3 girls March 14th and I got my first brown tiny albeit usable egg today. I'm sure it's one of them as next group are 2 weeks younger and they are white layers.

    First egg! Safe to consume?

    It's supposed to change the flavor from raw eggs. Pbly a myth but they're easier to crush up if dried.

    Chicken math - the subtraction success

    Yes freezers are used for farm raised meats and frozen veg and fruits. And of course DH ice cream! I wouldn't eat them raw but cooked or in baking like a raw egg . They're are lots of YT on this method.
