Chris replied to Cornelia's discussion 'Considering backyard chickens? Read this first!' in the group Backyard Chickens"What a great article! Yes, I absolutely agree - hens make good pets, provided they're paying their keep (i.e. laying eggs consistently). BEFORE getting chicks, every backyard chicken owner needs to have a plan for what they…"

Considering backyard chickens? Read this first!
In true unvarnished and awesome style, Erica at Northwest Edible Life has written this informative post:You Absolutely Should Not Get Backyard ChickensA short excerpt:If a chicken starts laying at 6 months old (this is a bit later than average but it makes my numbers easy) and has essentially stopped laying by 4 years old, and lives naturally to be 8, a backyard chicken keeper is…See More

An Ode To The Casserole
This less-than-wintry winter we’re having here in New England has got me thinking about how to fake winter – at least the indoors part – with warming, savory foods. Part of the fun of winter is holing up inside, keeping cozy, and cooking a pot of something good. Casseroles are something good. Retro in style, usually creamy and easily portable (if one chose to leave…

The Marcus Guy Band said… Hey Cornelia,
I was simply inviting people to a place that hand cooks each meal and treats their visitors to free music and art as part of the whole experience of sharing food music and art, not a plug for us since we play for free. We play there because we believe in their philosophy of creating good wholesome food with a dose of good wholesome art. I have never made a penny off of any of my music, to date it has been donated to support food pantries and soldiers who have been horribly wounded in wars that nobody cares about. I hope that this explains my open invitation to share my music with all of your members and apologize if you feel used or spammed.
Peace,
Marcus Guy

Jess Painter said… Thanks for the welcome! I do already have four hens, so I immediately checked out and joined the Backyard chickens group. When I wanted to come back and check out homegrown.org a little further, I forgot that it was .org... Homegrown.com is definitely NOT about veggies.
