Nothing worse than high humidity. Just chills you down to the bone.

I could see a road trip to PA for Mister if you throw in Cuddles!! LOL!

Mine just laugh at me when I ask them about laying. Anybody think they would lay quicker if I had a tom? You know....a little incentive?

Nope, you need to remember that @Auroradream26 is providing hers with supplemental lighting.

Thanks R2elk.

Aurora...just thinking I may be the perfect home for retired hens!

Anyone butchering turkey for Christmas? Or Toads? Traditionally we have goose. Hard to find a goose these days. Told my sister to out to the golf course with a 9 iron. But my German grandma handed down her recipe. Nice thing is it's not swimming in fat like some cooked geese. I like it. Also make red cabbage with apples. So Christmas gets a bit German with my family. Guess Christmas is the time, if any, to pull out those old family receipes. At least they never lit candles on the tree.

I've never tried goose before. Someday maybe. Just not either of my goofy boys! I do have a dumb duck that I wouldn't mind eating but DH likes his antics so I'm not allowed lol

I realized this afternoon that in the time since I acquired my trio of Narries, I've had to worm my chickens twice and treat them for cocci once, yet somehow the turkeys seem impervious to everything. Are turks just that much hardier than chooks, or are we getting lucky?

Once turkey are older than 8-10 wks, they are very hardy.

Goose can be tasty Aurora. Or it can be greasy. Grandma knew her way around a goose. My sister does the goose...took a few tries to get it right.

I like goose stuffed with sauerkraut. The sauerkraut takes up the grease and the goose is actually good... btw throw the sauerkraut away, it will takes like crap.

Love sauerkraut! Can't eat a sausage without it!!

Been rainy again. Tired of wet birds & dogs. Dont think the birds mind much. My hound takes one look outside & goes back to bed. Lazy hound!!

Everyone ready for Christmas? Who is hosting? I'm so lucky....being out of town from my family I just show up & enjoy. My sister loves to entertain. That's a good thing!!

Who is butchering a turkey?
