Don't ship, I can't risk that you'll send the one with the basilisk. The basilisk egg should be shipped, to someplace where it can be kept from getting out of hand. Like D.C., or at least a law firm. (According to legend, they can only be killed by weasels.) There is actually one other thing that can kill them, a mirror (their gaze is deadly even to them). Also they are supposedly afraid of the crowing of a real rooster (they can only hiss), and basil (this however is risky since some traditions actually say they are attracted by it). So maybe a funhouse? Actually the cockcrow thing presumably means that, while the barnyard is the most likely place to engender one, it is also probably one of the safest places to be should there be one (except at night).

Ship it to me; I'll plant it! That should ensure its failure to grow.

Well, given that every law office has at least one weasel, I'm sure the basilisk will not last very long.
I decided to do a little testing with the corn. I stopped feeding the corn for 3 days last week. I got 5, 3, and 3 eggs on those 3 days respectively. Yesterday I fed the chickens an ear and a half of the corn. They laid 4 eggs yesterday. Today I fed them 2 ears of corn. They laid 9 eggs. There is nothing else to explain the increase in egg laying except that the corn is pushing eggs out of the hens twice a day. I'll feed them 2 ears of corn tomorrow and see if they can keep up the pace.

Gee Dar, don't you think that's a little hard on the girls?
