Ruby Lays Her Egg

[MrRedFredSaid]

I eat eggs, but I'm glad I don't eat chickens. I'm glad that Ruby has such a good life. I buy free-range eggs.  I know the chickens don't enjoy the high life of Ruby but at least they let them out of their cages for a bit each day to walk around.

Thanks for the comment. Ruby took "free range" to a whole other level! She spent the last winter of her life in the living room by the wood stove in the company of a very old pygmy goat who was also in need of extra warmth. When spring came we put her back outside to enjoy the sunshine, and then she died. She was a good chicken. btw, what you should look for in your eggs is "pastured". Commercial "free range" chickens actually don't spend much time out doors.

Yeah, I've heard that free range isn't exactly what the name implies. But it's at least a little more humane. I'll see if I can find pastured eggs, though. Sorry to hear that Ruby passed away. She was one lucky hen.

I watched the video again and laughed when Ruby scared the cat. That's great.
