Yea, I don't get it. Eggs from a 'happy' chicken are supposed to taste better, be better for you? Our store discounted "Eggland's Best" apparently to get rid of them before expiration date due to an overstock. No difference to me.

Guessing it's more of a compassionate buyer choice. Free country, go for it. Free range or caged all end up at Col. Sander's eventually. No more happy.

The taste and texture of farm eggs as well as yolk color are of a much higher quality.

We have a farmer/neighbor at our river place. He butchers his own chickens. He swears the crickets they forage from the yard make them the best tasting. ...OK by me. Heck, if that's not organic, what is?

Green eggs are even better than brown eggs.

we get those too and some speckled. We are lucky and have friends that like to have chickens. i refuse to pay three times for the 'good' ones at the store but will happily pay her that amount. Plus, she delivers. And recently when we got home for a vacation we had two roosters and a bag of necks in the freezer. Thats the kind of friends to have.

Weren't the roosters cold? :sick:

My father swore capons were the best, better than any chicken. I think Cornish hens are the best poultry, right up there with deep fried turkey depending which I scarfed last.

Folks are still going off the deep end. Our first case showed up couple days ago and rumor mill is in full swing. The person has had Med troubles for years and doesn't get out a lot, but they did go to Indy to see family weeks ago. They get back and wind up in the hospital about a week ago with pneumonia, and while in there had the Covid test.

Is released three days ago back home, and then gets notified they had it. The very next day folks around here are saying they saw the person all over here there and yonder last week (they were in the hospital). Its a good thing folks don't know who it is.

We also have another which was told that covid is airborne, and therefore she has locked herself in her house and will not even open the door. She will talk on the phone and can tell from her voice that she is scared. Its a shame folks keep putting out info which is not true

We're up to seven cases in our county. We are hunkering per the rules. I don't want to catch the darned thing. First, I may die. Second, I'd feel like an irresponsible low life looser if I caught it. ....social stigma. Our county also doesn't release the names, just age and if travel related. If I get it and need a trip to the hospital, I'll wait until dark of night. Nosy neighbors.

I really wish people would stop using social media as their news and information sources. Go to the WHO and local health department websites. Get up to date and reliable information...

As well as staying home, we also need to stop using social media!

I believe it can be airborne if you're in close proximity to a coughing or sneezing carrier, exactly the same way colds and flu are spread, That's the purpose for distancing and a 6 foot buffer. But it isn't floating around in the open.

Lets face it, some people don't listen or don't understand with the way information is explained. And some watch the wrong shows.

My Governor found out yesterday that people without symptoms can be carriers. He said it was startling revelation. What!

Florida exempted megachurches from mass gathering rules. One of our hotspots was triggered by a small church when it first hit Georgia.

In KY we had a church revival which set in motion (prior to Gov lock down) a large build up of cases quickly. All could be traced back to the revival

In South Korea a cluster of cases was traced back to a church when a nutbag priest was spraying salty water in all the sheeople's mouth's... :facepalm: Moron priest used the same spray bottle nozzle for everybody. They all ended up with Covid19. I mean really, where do these people get their education? It's 2020, I can't believe people STILL believe in this bollocks!

So far the GA church has caused 153 cases and 4 deaths. My county caught up in deaths, but still only have 94 cases, but I'm sure the local numb nuts are trying to beat them.

Here only first responders and medical workers are being tested regularly. For someone like me, my doctor has to refer me to the county with obvious symptoms for approval. So we have carriers running around the state until midnight when the lockdown starts. And they are stripping grocery and liquor store shelves.

Not enough tests and too many false test results, both positive and negative, complicate this mess.

My knuckles are bruised, raw and bloody from knocking on wood. A specialist doctor just read off a list of states they are worried about, 4th or 5th was Georgia. Rap, Rap, Rap. Take my temperature again and wash my hands. Trying my best!

GA crossed 1000 cases on 3/24, today it's 5444. 4444 cases in 9 days. What, me worry! You bet your bippy! Rap, Rap, Rap. Ouch!
