Massachusetts lawmakers are scrambling to reach an agreement on how much space is required to house farm animals like chickens and pigs that produce breakfast staples.

 

[ThePreBanMan]

This is typical. They've known about the problem for quite some time, and yet did absolutely nothing about it until they absolutely last minute. And now they can't get out of their own way to get anything done and consumers suffer. Welcome to Massachusetts politics. But hey it's not like your grocery bill was already sky high right.....

f*** them all... From Baker down .

Raise chickens. It's the easiest, most satisfying, thing in the world, and the eggs are a million times better.

What consequence???? We (collective mASS we, not you and me we) voted these turds in. They made this stupid-ass law. Now we're all F'd and they won't do a thing about it AND they'll get re-elected anyhow.

There are no consequences in a one-party state.

I've cut way back on eggs. So F them all. This is awesome terrible press for the State Whores. They pass stupid laws that have consequences and forget that the consequences actually arrive at some point.

Maybe drop off a few thousand broken eggs to the State Whores. Of course, you'd have to drop them off outside because you can't go in you disgusting unwashed masses.

Blocky - that's still $5/doz in powdered form.

Lol. NH now the Go To place for... Wait for it... Eggs.

Massachusetts driving residents into New Hampshire for goods is nothing new...
Liquor, smokes, fireworks, Tannerite, ammo... Eggs.



New Hampshire's New State Bird???

A lot of towns and cities have regulations that won't allow chickens.

Waiting on a "Massachusetts chicken Red or Green Towns" thread...

Well, she identifies as a "New Hampshire Red"...

Once you have chickens you will never go back to store bought eggs. I have had chickens for 25 years. Only when a predator has wiped them all out have we had to fall back on purchasing eggs and rarely for long. We produce more than we consume at most times so we have a good stockpile.

If you live in a town that does not permit chickens, you are living way too close to too many people...

Its almost like they waited last minute intentionally, to play chicken?

Free Bird?

"Play Free Bird!"...

You could have at least gone to the version from the album “One More From/For The Road”

I thought food just came from the grocery stores?

 

[lowbuckbob]

This is an egg-sistential crisis!

 

[Golddiggie]

Another option is to get into good with someone that has chickens. There a person just down the street from me with chickens. I've been trading the spent grain from brewing for fresh eggs. The chickens are not producing right now due to the season change. I'm hoping they startup again soon. I've not stopped providing the spent grain though. Gave them an almost full 5 gallon bucket on Sunday and the coming batch will have even more.

100% agree that fresh eggs are far better.

All set here

Free Bird?

It's 2021. Nobody wants Freebird anymore, dude. Put your lighter away. ROFL!!!!


I guess I can jump the line to Rhodey-Izlin if I need eggs. I'm thinking they'll have a workable solution by the 1st week in Jan. Probably repealing the whole entire thing. Their timing just sucked. Oh, and the law just sucked, too.

As I believe Mark Twain said, "if your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Legislators only know how to legislate. I'd love a law (giggle) that said they can only pass 5 laws a year and the text can only be so long. It's stupid, but it would stop dumbass legislation like this.

Tell them to put a light in the coup on a timer. If you give them a constant amount of light 14-16hrs production is only marginally impacted in the winter. The reason they stop laying is becuase they are eating less and sleeping more.

If you have 35ish chickens you can eat and store enough eggs to feed 4 people two eggs per day all year round and still have extras. Chickens are pretty low maintenance and if you have roosters they are self sustaining if you let them hatch.

And they are just fun to have running around the yard.

My dope of a rooster cracks me up, he throws his wing down at everyone that pulls in the driveway. I have one silky that hangs out with me when I am sitting by the fire pit drinking beer. My kids absolutely love them.

I thought this thread was going to be about this:

Activists separate hens from cockerels 'so the hens are not raped

A pair of vegan activists, Almas Veganas (Vegan Souls) from Girona in Catalonia in Spain, released a video in which they smashed eggs on the floor 'because they belong to the hens.'
