Thank you so much! I do understand about the garden keeping you busy! I do appreciate you finding the info and posting. Have a great harvest! Kacey

I was hoping one of you folks could help with a question I have in regards to a conversion. I am unable to find dill heads or blooms, and that is what the recipe calls for. I have plenty of dill weed, or dill seed but unsure if it will still work, and if acceptable, what the amount of either...

I'm sorry your're having problems with your chick. I would like to ask if you are feeding them medicated chick starter? If so, I would suggest that you give her liquid baby vitamins, without any iron. The medicated started robs the chicks of important b vitamins. I would put a drop in her beak...

Do a search under Gump Bread, here on BYC. I forgot who the original poster was, but it's been around for awhile. It's super easy, delicious, and is very easy to add stuff too. It very versatile and can be made into rolls, cinnamon rolls or a french bread type. It's a free form bread, meaning...

Hi BBQjoe, I feed my girls back all the eggs shells I have. I don't do anything special with them. I just drop them in the run, and smash them with my foot. I find that most of them are gone during the day. I also offer them oyster shell, separate from their feed, by hanging a plastic dish off...

Most of the flock is barn yard mixes, from easter eggers, production reds, and Jersey Giant. Several generations crossed back and forth. I also have 4 light Brahama, and 4 production red, full strength. Those are the trouble makers. The others then seem to follow suit. I was just out checking...

I have a 4 y/o Gold laced Wyandotte hen. She is near the bottom of the pecking order. She is now with a flock of hens over a y/o. The original flock she was with, she seemed to keep herself out of the mix for pecking order. Don't mess with me, I won't mess with you attitude. The flock she is...

First off, Welcome to BYC!! Secondly, I would attempt to rehome them, or sell them on Craigs List. You do need to be open minded to the fact, that even if they have names, the person(s) may have other ideas for their use. You have to be willing to let them go, regardless if they are going to...

thanks for the posts and questions girls. I didn't have a good answer to your questions, so I went back on Utube and watched several more videos in regards to ground beef. Saw several reasons for doing both. One lady loved having the broth after adding hot water to her meat, that it became...

I found it on Utube. She used ground beef, cooked it, and placed it in hot jars. Without liquid. It worked just fine for her, so that was the first thing I tried. I drained off the fat and water from the meat, but there was still a bit of liquid that was on the bottom of the jar after it was...

Thanks for the heads up! I read and re read the directions, and obviously missed that important tidbit! I won't make that mistake again. Thanks again for your help, and the welcome too.

Today was my first attempt to pressure can. I did 2 batches of venison. First batch was ground venison. I dry packed cooked meat. I made 10 pints, and everything appears to be good. My second batch was also venison, cut up into stewing chunks. I browned all the meat until no longer pink. I saved...

I have just pulled out the pressure canner I received from my Mom's estate. It's a Presto 21 qt Harvest gold, circa 1975. It appears to be in great shape, and is in the original box, and has the book too. I believe it still has the original rubber seal, as it's pretty stiff. I went on the...

Thanks Bee, I am excited about the meats ! Now, back to finding more jars !

Hi Bee, I read your comment about using meat cleaned out of the freezer. I too have some of my processed chicken and some wild hog that I need to move out of the fridge. The chicken is dark meat, drumsticks and thighs. Do you remove the bones by just cutting the meat off, or to you boil them...
