    Natural Cold Process Lye Soaps

    I was interested too, but also in making some myself. She recommended the Soap Queen website, so I will probably follow up on that.

    Meat Bird Project - Delaware, White Rock, Dark Cornish

    Wow, thqnks! Knowing all that gives me more confidence! I also have been concerned about contamination, but I know I am more likely to be cautious than many. I can see how pulling everything out first would actually assist with managing the anal removal along with preventing much poop. I figure...

    Meat Bird Project - Delaware, White Rock, Dark Cornish

    This will be my first time doing it as I have 10 cornish crosses that I will harvest in 4 to 6 weeks. I don't care for the skin anyway and knew it would be so much easier than plucking. Wish I could find a tutorial with pics. Maybe something you might think about posting on BYC sometime in the...

    Coop Shame

    Maybe you can do what I have done for more room until I get my larger coop completed.

    Good to know anout the snowy EEs. They all came.from the same place at the same.time. I wasn't looking for any specific breed at the time, but I understand that most sellers tell buyers that the chicks are Ameracauna when they are EEs. Now I do have my eye on some Ameracauna SE of me who are...

    Coop Shame

    ^^This^^ This is what I am using my first little house for. I have chicks in it right now with a run. When they are a little bigger, I will separate the trios into their own runs and give them their own house. I initially considered placing my little house (similar to the one pictured on top of...

    "Training" to follow?

    Holy cow!! You need more than pepper spray. I've been threatening to get the big cans of bear spray, but you need a few for sure. Here I am in the Talladega National Forest thinking I'm fighting off the wilderness with coyotes and snakes, but you, my dear, are truly in the wilderness!

    LOL! Not that's a picture to love! I'm not sure who's having more fun, the pig or the mountain climbing chicks! Did you make sure they have a qualified sherpa along?
