OT - what I am doing today
How much do you pay for eggs?
Of course I'd love it if they were cheaper but I really feel perfectly OK paying $4.25 for them. When I got to stand in the hen house and see some hens in their nests and see others outside scratching in the dirt for bugs and they all just looked very healthy and content, I thought Oh yeah, this is what I want to be paying for. Not for chickens raised in tiny little cages and all that.

The most I have ever paid for eggs has been $2.50 a dozen. I have gotten fresh butter, milk, bread and of course veggies and fruit. There is a Mennonite about 2 miles from me that grows Canary melons and they are wonderful. I had never heard of them before but they talked me into trying one and now I'm in love.
I also haven't seen any on them have them any other way then free range. Usually you see them running around the yard. That actually might be a good way to find someone too, if they have chickens and dairy cows I'm sure they have the eggs and milk. You won't know until you ask if they will sell it but most of them around here will if you ask.

Yeah, the chicken factories are terrible. I watched a documentary about it and it actually made me cry. I can't understand how it is legal to treat animals that way but apparently most laws about cruelty to animals do not apply to animals that you raise for food. If you plan to eat it, you can treat it however you want.
