How much are lil chicks in your area M?

 

Usually a couple of dollars a piece. I bought these from Meyer Hatchery in OH. Looks like three breeds, and they're all males. At qty 100+ they were 34 cents each and $10 to ship. They hatched Monday and arrived yesterday morning. At butchering age of about 12 weeks there's not a whole lot of difference between hens and roosters for the purpose of meat consumption, so it just makes a lot of sense to go that route.

Thanks to a fellow forum member’s recommendation, I picked up some LED lighting to go behind my TV. Very good use of $40!

I've seen others use that kind of backlighting.  How do you control the colors?

 

Is there a practical use for the lights, ie makes the TV look better, easier on the eyes, etc, or is the lighting purely for effect?

It comes with a remote, that you use to control the colors and other settings.

 

I actually prefer leaving the white LED on when watching TV, heck, I now leave them on 27/7 m. It makes everything look “crisper” for some reason.

 

Here is what I ordered:

The one I installed is white.  It may be an illusion but for me the blacks seem a little darker when it's on.  I also don't like watching tv in the dark and there's no chance of light reflecting off the screen with back lighting.
