My experience was quite similar to Buster52's. I was concentrating so much on the process that it was over before I knew it. My husband and I processed 10 birds one day and 14 the next. Both went very smoothly, and as Jaku said, it does get easier once you figure it out. By the end, it...

Still waiting for the weird part . . .

Quote: This pretty much sums it up. If she doesn't feel comfortable having her boys around the dogs, then it's her decision as the parent. It seems that she doesn't put the same value on family that you do. That is her choice. It's sad, but if she is unwilling to change you can't do...

I bought a SinuRinse bottle because it is so easy to use. I have had horrible allergies for years and last year . . . NONE! Also, I use the rinse in the shower because it is much easier and less awkward that way. It also eliminates the hecklers and gawkers!

I honestly don't know if there is a way to make the clay work well for a garden. It is typically too dense too allow for good root growth. I don't have any personal experience with clay, as I've only had to deal with sandy and rocky soils, but from what I've read it's trouble. Personally, I...

<-- referring to Boyd's remarks My hubby would second that! I put the curl in my hair since mine only has a bit of its own and my guy likes those waves!

I'm so sorry this happened! I agree that a tether or fence is the best option. Our border collie grew up on a farm that free ranged all their poultry, but I still don't trust her around our young chickens. When the chickens are out, the dog is tethered. Every time! I've just read too many...

Thanks so much for the info. DH and I would love to go to an opera and this is a much more affordable way to go. I have always wanted to see The Magic Flute!

We just finished processing the rest of our meat birds this morning. Our kids (ages 7 and 8) were there the whole time and helped rinse off the meat. We explained to them before we even got the chickens that the meat birds are different and that they are only for food. That didn't stop the...

I can honestly see both sides of the SSS controversy. I feel that I have a responsibility to notify my neighbors if their dogs ever attacked my animals. Personally, for me, I couldn't just pretend I didn't know anything. I also know my neighbors, and they are kind and responsible. They raise...

I know how difficult this must be for you. I am so sorry you have had to see your Mom like this. I hope the doctors will deal with this as they should.

Well, I'm going to garden this morning, then spend the afternoon at the med center getting all kinds of tests done. Bleh! So that blows the rest of today out of the water. Tomorrow, I will, hopefully, be helping DH take care of the rest of our meaties and setting up a nice permanent home for...

Quote: I have lived through two global pandemics that "could become the next Spanish flu". SARS and the bird flu to be exact. I was in Asia at the outbreak of both and both fizzled among speculation of becoming the next big, worldwide killer flu. It's the CDC's job to prepare for...

Well, I got to have my coffee this morning! Unfortunately, the trap was empty. Fortunately, the cat wasn't in the trap. Unfortunately, we don't know if the skunk is just hiding or if it's gone. Fortunately, our dog didn't get sprayed again when we let her loose to see if she could find it...

If you are getting cornish x, then they are just as tender as storebought. We processed half of ours last week and brined the meat overnight in the fridge. I floured the boneless, skinless breasts and sauted them in butter and lemon. They were fork tender and delicious!

Personally, I don't think just discounting and belittling others is a solution. While there are some on Facebook that put up phony info, there are many more that don't. The issue shouldn't be whether you should be justified in being upset. It should be figuring out why you are upset. I think...

Mmmm, I like yak meat. And although I'm not a huge fan of the milk, the cheese is good also. Great pics!

Quote: Yes, I agree. Having an opinion different from the accepted "norm" certainly makes you a targer. I don't think it's necessarily the differing opinion that makes one a target. I think it's more the way that opinion is presented. It's hard to always put the proper tone into the written...

Well, here in the northeast it's been very cool and very wet. Yesterday, it was in the 60s and rained all day. We lit up the pellet stove, pulled on our fleeces and made extra coffee. So come on up here for one of the coolest summers in a long time!

So, I got up, started the coffee, went to take care of chicken chores with the kids, you know, all the usual morning things. I let our dog out off-leash to run wild, like I do every morning since she's a bundle of energy. We fed and watered the chickens, fed the cat, got food and water for the...
