Can you ever have too many mason jars?
I still to this day use them for drinking glasses.

We use our second cold frame in the winter to use up our old seeds. Then we use this to feed our chickens, ducks, rabbits and sheep through the winter for a boost of vitamins

We’ve been saving up our chickens' eggshells and finally baked and crushed them today. Hopefully it doesn't lead to egg pecking but we're going to try throwing back in their self-serve calcium bowl to help keep their eggs forming nice and strong shells.

While crushing them I was thinking about how much they looked like terrazzo… and then I learned eggshell terrazzo is actually a real thing! Who knew?! 🎨🥚✨

Did you know a single emu egg is equivalent to 10-12 large chicken eggs?
The shell of an emu egg is 1.3mm thick, has 3 layers and can withstand up to 100 lbs of pressure. They are considered a complete protein source containing all essential amino acids, they are highly nutritious and are a rich source of iron, vitamin a, vitamin d, vitamin e, magnesium and selemium. They contain all nine essential amino acids and has a higher proportion of yolk (approximately 45%) compared to chicken eggs and last two months in the fridge.
We will have limited amounts of infertile emu eggs for eating by order, if you've ever wanted to try eating emu eggs send us a message, we will have emu eggs available for hatching within the next month or so 🪺
