    Typical behavior that I seen in many years of broody hens is until the last 3 days, hens have been know to get off their eggs for an hour or so, and walk and eat and socialize. The last 3 days she won't move from the eggs. With summer temperatures in the 80s, one hour is no problem.

    The Game Commission does not show any current projects for SGL 108. However, they do controlled timber harvests all over the state after hunting seasons. There is a newer (2015) program of the Pennsylvania Game Commission that aims to direct hunters to new habitat areas that attract deer.

    I did some research about this and the USDA does not recommend you eat the eggs if they come out runny. Technique? I never break eggs when I fry them. My daughter was breaking yolks by dropping the eggs too far before they hit the pan.

    @ Auroradream26 It may be getting a little late in the spring to find them now. Avoid any that are too soft and spongy. When you have a week of 50 degree nights and some rain, then morels should be coming. I found some around April 22-30. Sycamore, hickory, ash, and elm are four trees to...

    Delicious find. Fresh morels vary in price, and you can expect to pay anywhere from $30 to $75 per pound. I would recommend searing them in olive oil over high heat to brown them, then add minced shallots and/or garlic. Turn the heat down and add a generous pat of butter added towards the...

    Replacement battery should be LR-44, S-76, A76, G13 or equivalent 1.55v button cell. Avoid handling the battery surfaces because contamination may increase contact resistance. I wear a clean cotton glove when changing batteries like that.

    sT The flowers are still very small, but I think it is Morrow's honeysuckle. The honeysuckle family of shrubs are some of the most common and invasive bush honeysuckles found in the mid-Atlantic region. Birds spread it like wildfire. Cut it down.

    yoopergirl, are your new chickens bantams? They look like a a barnyard mix. The roosters appear be at least half frizzled Cochin, the pullet some Mottled Cochin; but the legs should have feathers.
