Thanks for your newsletter. I enjoy it every week. One note - I assumed the Autostraddle letter was written by a fat-shaming lesbian, not a man, since it primarily serves LGBTQIA folx.

We raised chickens when I was little. That's how a learned the phrase "pecking order". Mom bought baby chickens by mail order. They arrived at the post office, one day old. We put them in the basement under a heat lamp until they were big enough to move outside (but not big enough to live with the adult hens).

True. I was assuming most of these eggs were fertilized, since roosters are about!

Thank you again for a great Friday Affirmation. I’m baffled that chickens will eat eggs, though!

So it actually makes sense if you think about the fact that the chick uses the yolk as nutrition as it grows! The yolk is not actually the chick (as I think a lot of us thought or were told?) The chick is a tiny little spot that grows and consumes the yolk in that process!
