I have to scramble mine. I love them over easy, but since I had my gall bladder out, I can't eat them. My boys both LOVE scrambled eggs. I cannot wait until my girls start laying so that we'll have eggs every day.

Will you ever be able to eat them?? WOw I didn't think they had that much fat to them-- so sorry you miss out on eating eggs. Good that your boys will eat all those lovely eggs from the girls.

I must be lucky then.. I had my gallbladder out years ago ..emergency surgery and I darn near died.. the hospital staff were taking bets as to when I was gonna croak.. and I was told by the doc that I wasn't gonna make it out of the hospital alive.. lol.. yeah.. i'm stubborn!
Anywho... I can eat home grown eggs just fine.. but store bought eggs make me sick!

So I reread and realized it meant the humidity was to low because of the large air sacs. I just now put some more water in there and took out the rice. Duh me!

snood of boys is bigger than the girl's snood in general. 

The snood is that bump on the nose, right? Hehe such a noob

I'll have to try them when I get some. My girls are only 6-7 weeks old but soon enough I'll have eggs. I can eat them scrambled but the yolk makes me sick in over easy. I'll eat them sometimes anyways, because nothing is better than bacon and hash browns dipped in yolk, but I generally pay for it about 30 minutes later. :/. I'm going back to the feed store. I need someone to keep my one lonely chick company, right?

I might go back and buy a few...I'm assuming they are straight run, what should I look for if I want a hen and a tom? They look to be about 2 weeks old.

the snood thingy should start getting some length by 2 weeks (like a mm)

I think it's different for everyone. The gallbladder thing. I don't have issues with any other food.

Quote: hmm... have you ever been checked for a hiatal hernia?
Since they basically butchered me when they removed mine.. I have one as a souvenir.. had several years of severe pain and bloating after eating (and feeling sick to my stomach) until it was diagnosed

so I take herbs and things and sleep on a slant.. and now I can pretty much eat anything with no issues.. (well.. except store bought eggs)..!
