sidss1The REAL reason I drove to Michigan
You should have also picked up some Better Made Potato Chips. Made in Detroit too, and they taste very good.

Before or after they get done coughing from the bubbles up their nose?
It's the entire process...
LOL ! Yup, it sure enough is that. Still remember my first glass. After that, one had to learn patience whilst the fizz rising above the top of the glass diminished

That was back when Vernor's was a whole lot more fizzy!
It's still my favorite ginger ale

Eggs.
Oh good, glad you cleared that up, I wasn't up to such an involved explanation.

I keep 3 to 5 dozen layers around (at the upper end of that scale at the moment) and sell eggs to a group of dedicated locals. Several say they'll go without rather than eat anything but Someday Farm's Finest.
For some reason I thought you'd cleared most of the birds out. We have 50 freedom rangers coming out of the brooder tomorrow but only keep about 12-15 layers around.

I got done with meat birds but still have layers. The size of my flock fluctuates due to losses from natural causes and predation offset by donations from folks that don't want to deal with their birds any more (a dozen just a few days ago) and the occasional purchase of a dozen chicks when the count is getting low.
I'm supposed to pick up another half-dozen in a few days from folks that turn their flocks over ever other year.
