The Ameraucana produces a delicious egg

Interesting. Thanks.
Here in NYC, I usually settle for Eggland’s Best, unless I feel like paying $1 per egg.
I read an article about the prisons in Romania years ago, which didn’t represent the population at large-—the gypsies were the largest group incarcerated—much larger amount than percentage in the population. The article attributed it to their lack of respect for other people’s personal property. :)
That is the only thing I have really ever read about “gypsies” other than in books, like Hugo’s Esmerelda.
Both clans are highly integrated these days. Very diverse group. They can show up at a major store and loot it right under the cameras and you'll never catch any of them.
I rarely get Ameraucana’s and I never get them in a store.
Fantastic egg! The yolk is deep orange red, the white isn’t thin like water.
Excellent flavor.
Aint none of them my kin!
Obviously that chick is a pedophile.
Chicken is the new steak around here. :)
especially my piecrust
Ace’s older sister Janie raises a few for eggs. They live just far enough out of Grand Rapids, MI to have them legally.
Damn skippy!
Lard rocks in pie crusts.
If chickens were native to Polynesia and found their way to Greece that means there was trade during ancient Greece times.
“The tale does not ... explain why the soldiers found this display of instinctive aggression inspirational rather than pointless and depressing.”
It doesn’t need to, since it’s self-evident. They found it inspirational because they needed the inspiration. It’s the same reason why we don’t critically examine the flawed logic or analogies in locker room halftime speeches. We need inspiration, someone is willing to provide it, so we suspend our disbelief. After the need has passed and the inspiration has served its purpose, we can comfortably look back, like this writer, and say “wait a second, that doesn’t quite make sense...”.
Just do an internet search for: Bimbo gypsy clan, and you can find plenty of reading about modern gypsies in America. They’re not too common, but they are around. We had family of them living down the block from us for a while when I was a kid.
Their children were not allowed to talk with or play with the other neighborhood kids, and they did not go to school. The kids would be out every day, on the corner at the intersection of the busy street, selling candy bars like they were for some school fundraiser. Except, the only fundraiser was for the gypsies; the parents bought the candy wholesale and used the profits from the kids’ labor to pay their living expenses. Nobody in the family held a regular job, they just ran scams and collected welfare.
Barry Fell thought there was a connection between Polynesia and ancient Greece.
Sounds like a tasty idea, I’ll have to consider doing that too.
Thanks mylife!
