Here's something you don't see everyday...

While doing my daily check at the free stuff on Craigslist, I came across this gem...

Egg shells! From chickens!

My grandma used to put an eggshell in for her parakeet Peety. I guess he liked the roughage and the protein. Of course I don't remember ever seeing him eat them.

We save them and then break them up and feed them to our hens.
Great source of calcium replenishment for them.

I crush my egg shells and add them to the soil in the garden which helps keep tomatoes from getting blossom end rot. The one thing you need to do is when you make your whole for the transplant toss about a half a handful before putting in transplant, if you just sprinkle to the surface I had problems with it attracting raccoons. So I guess if they were available without having to go out of my way at all I would grab them myself.

I feed them back to my chickens. Calcium source. I've tried them in compost but they do attract coons and skunks.

Here's the text of the ad:

Egg shells! From chickens! (Squirrel Hill)

Yo! I am a weird man and don't like things to go to waste. Hence, that is why I have egg cartoons with about 96 egg shells inside (I eat eggs then don't throw away the shells). Do you want the shells? You can have them!

No questions asked!

Potential uses include but are not limited to:
Increasing the ph of soil and/or aquariums
Drawing a little black dot on them then putting them over your eyes while taking a nap and pretending to be awake
Learning to walk on egg shells literally, which might translate into being able to metaphorically walk on egg shells

The serial killer would probably use something slightly more desirable

Hmmm, "free bacon" would snare about 80% of the forum members. Of course "free beer candy" would work as well.

Ya know, you never see predators stalking gun shops, Dojo's or knife stores. I wonder why that is?

This weekend I got lucky at a yard sale and got several full cases of .45 auto and 9mm ammo for next to nothing. A widow who didn't know what her deceased hubby's ammo cache was worth. I put them in the back of the pickup and stopped for gas on the way back to the ranch.
There was a really hot young thing gassing up her truck on the other side of the pump. She noticed my ammo and said " I like to barter, how'd you like to trade some ammo for sex?"
I thought about it for a minute and then said "Sounds good, what kind of ammo do you have?"
