Suz: have you tried OatsCreme? It's a non-dairy ice cream made from oats.
Don't know if it's available in your area.

No, I haven't heard of it! I do eat oats! Thank you for the suggestion! silver suz

I could never come up with the knowledge you all have...
but "Norbie" !??...

I do know that RAW egg whites will deteriorate the gastrio-intestinal lining of anyone or anything that ingests it. So, give your pooch raw egg yolks...but make sure the whites are cooked.

cat, interesting take a on the egg whites,can you back up that allegation?
my lab got her egg as a "saturday night special"...i can assure you when she departed this earth, it was not due to raw egg whites....
i once had a friend who would take a raw egg in his beer....he died of alcoholism, not raw eggs....pity....such a waste of life.....took him 70 years to do it......

OK, for keeping chickens, here's a suggestion, the Eglu , but it probably looks more fitting with the CCDs.

I can't believe no one has offered Mr. Eggman (a la' Divine's mama in the movie Pink Flamingoes) as the ultimate solution to the Airstream egg dilema.

Can't say as how I could recommend the movie to viewing by kids, but it certainly contains (sick) humor a college student could relate to.

As I grow older I may change my toys, but I refuse to grow up.

I plan to get a Blue Glass Globe and a White Porcelain Chicken with Chicks to go with the flock of Pink Flamingos.

Then, there's the story my ex-husband told me...from his days in the Air Farce...in Germany.
This young private came through the messhall for his first breakfast on the troop ship...and in the line, the cook stood on the other side of the hot table with trays of eggs "sunnyside up" "over-medium" "welldone" & "scrambled",,,
and the cook looked at the private with the spatula in his hand, and waited for the private to tell him which kind of eggs he wanted. He asked the private, "How Do You Like Your Eggs?".
The private replied, "Oh, I like 'em fine".
Now it was 0500 Hr. and the cook was in no mood for funny jokes, so he very impatiently asked the private..."One MORE TIME....How do you like 'em COOKED?"
The private,,,dumbfounded by the stupidity of this cook...replied...
"Oh! I like 'em cooked BEST OF ALL."
(with that the cook slapped at spatula FULL of scrambled eggs on the private's tray...and turned to serve the next one.

Right ON...Dennis.
I like the like white duckies following the mamma. I want them yellow tho'.
What about "The EGG & I"...written by a woman up here in Port Ludlow, Washington, and made into the movie in the 1940s of the same name, starring Marjorie Maine, Percy Kilbride, Claudette Colbert & Fred MacMurray.
The catalyst for the TV series, "Green Acres".

I think I'll call my Bambi that. Yeppers! That's it.
Bear & me...and the Egg & I. (should be the Egg & me...but I will compensate for the sake of history.)

Yukionna, that quote from Samuel Johnson is wonderful! Have you ever read any Victorian travel literature? It is great, nothing like the Frommers or Fodors of today.

I just finished reading all of the suggestions on how to transport eggs. But I have a suggestion that goes back to bringing the chickens along safely.

As a former farm girl, I can tell you in all honesty this actually works. You can HIPNOTIZE a chicken quite easily. Here's how. 1- Catch them 2- Calm them down and hold them in a comfortable seated position 3- lower the chickens head and place her beak on a flat surface. 4- with your free hand, take your index finger and place it up against her beak on the table and trace an invisible straight line out from her beak. DONE! Your chicken is now hipnotized! You can remove the hand you used to restrain her and she remains with her beak on the table.

So simple - can't believe no one thought of it. Hipnotize your chickens for the ride. When you get to your destination, SNAP! They wake up, lay a few eggs, and you're having breakfast fit for a king. Bon Appetit!

This, of course, is assuming wherever you park---it's ok with the management & other residents to have caged chickens plucking away.
But, truly,,,,I THINK THIS IS THE BEST idea yet!! & she's right---IT DOES WORK.

BTW...? How well do hens lay when they're caged? Mine always free-ranged it...and laid bunches every day.
Also, someone might wonder--- if they don't lay the eggs for whatever reason, WHERE'S THE AXE...?

ooops, sorry. I was raised on a farm myself.

In one of my previous posts here on this Thread...
(WHO put the "undefined" after the string of "R"s...? The Webmaster>?)

'wondering what the "R"s stand for? (Bored---FORCED---WEAK---laughter)....get it? RRRRRRRRRRRR
(say it outloud to yourself; it sounds bored, forced and weak does it not?)
That's all...
Now? is it "defined"...? ...................Cat

Yea, and after a little party at the campground you can even get a chicken drop contest going......................

I wanted to attach a cage on the back of the trailer but I'm afraid that their feathers may blow off during the trip and they wouldn't lay eggs. Plus if you've ever seen a bald chicken it's scary. I'd carry them in my truck but there's already enough cackling going on from the wife. Does anyone have experience bringing livestock along, other than the plain dog or cat? Thank you.

Can you guys really picture this AS scenario, with a chicken cage attached to the AS!!!!!!!!

I'm just dying here laughing at the thought.

Tin Hut, keep us laughin at your jokes!!!!
