    Any fermentation fans (fanatics?) here?

    That sounds awesome, FFN. I have been branching out into lacto-veggies and fruits, but still haven't attempted wine or mead. Although my attempt at ginger beer might have been flammable...

    Any fermentation fans (fanatics?) here?

    Ok, the peppers are a must. I tried the whey in some kvass, and didn't take a shine to the flavor it added. But that was fruit, so I'll give it a try. I also think the ratio I used was higher than it needed to be. I'll be toying with that, too.

    Any fermentation fans (fanatics?) here?

    My first few batches of lacto-fermented veggies are almost ready to go! I am experimenting with carrot sticks and lacto-pickles. So far so good. @FoodFreedomNow, I haven't gotten around to starting the mead yet, but I am hoping to this weekend. Anyone have any favorite lacto-fermented veggies...

    It depends on the weathet in your area and your facilities. I have seen exposure take new born kits at just under 50* F. I live in Texas, and still have momma and babies indoors under a heat lamp.

    Thank you, kindly. I am excited. Cute little side story. As it is going to be cold this week, I slapped together a maternity pen with a quarter inch mesh bottom and chicken wire sides to set up in the shed. I planned to go back and add the mesh around the bottom of the sides later, but hadn't...

    And the count appears to be 9 little wiggly Californians, and momma is doing well. I'll grab a pic and get a more accurate count after breakfast.

    Well, just got the first kit from my first litter. Then momma just stopped for a snack. We'll see if there are more in the morning.

    State a fact about yourself!

    Nope. I don't do any ferrier work. I make stuff. Mostly knives, art projects, and bushcraft tools. Thank you for the appreciation. That is more than we could ask for.

    I am both a police officer and an amateur blacksmith.

    Where'd she go?

    The only place she could be trapped in is the shed, and I tore it up... repeatedly. I am not prone to give up hope lightly, but it looks as if I may never know what happened. Unless she turns up at the neighbor's with another clutch. I did find out there is still a stray silkie mix roo that...

    Where'd she go?

    Eight weeks, give or take. She has been pushing them "out of the nest" for the last week or so.

    Where'd she go?

    I can't even find a stray feather. It is just weird. I was less than 50 feet from her and never heard a sound. We got the hen and chicks from the guy next door. I thought she might have decided the kids were grown and went home. The neighbor hasn't seen her either. Guess I'll be building a...

    Where'd she go?

    Well, she didn't come home to roost.

    Where'd she go?

    Cross posted in the Texas thread. Hoping to get more eyes on it. Ok guys, new chicken dad is freaking out here. Momma hen has been at the stage where she has stopped helping the chicks forage, and started chasing them off her finds. She has also been doing weird things like jumping in the...
