    Rendered lard for first time - it separated?

    I have raised pigs for a few years now. Always raised the same way and fed the same grain. This year when I rendered lard it separated or was not as firm as usual. I am very frustrated as this year I was hoping to free up freezer space and store the lard on the shelf. 1. I put it in the fridge...

    Buff Brahma with neck issue

    Thanks, I also think it is feather plucking. I don’t see any of the other chickens bothering her though. I did take a look at her this morning and the area is back to a normal skin color. Maybe because the weather is nicer and they are out roaming more it has stopped?? I will keep an eye on it

    Buff Brahma with neck issue

    This is Sassafras, an almost year old Buff Brahma. I noticed her neck was losing feathers about a month or more ago. I thought no biggie, maybe a molt? It still hasn’t grown new feather and is red and warm to the touch in that area but skin around it is normal and fine. So what’s happening? I...

    I used strawberries I froze this past summer, thawed and drained them. I did follow the recommendation and only made half the glaze and even that was a bit much. The kids all enjoyed it but my oldest said it would have been good without the glaze.

    I only had time for a couple of bites but it was delicious! Definitely a keeper of a recipe. The real test will be when the kids get home from school. 😉

    I just finished a new recipe for a strawberry bread with a strawberry glaze. I probably should have let the bread finish cooling but who has time for that 😁

    New here but I wanted to ask if anybody has a good frosting recipe? I made a chocolate zucchini cake last night and didn’t want to use my old buttercream frosting recipe so I tried a cooked frosting recipe from Pinterest. not so good 🤦🏻‍♀️ Does anybody have a favorite vanilla frosting recipe...

    Toys in the coop

    I added a xylophone this winter for boredom. Apparently they aren’t that bored. It’s never been touched 😅

    Reputable Hatchery

    I am new to having layers but have raised meat birds for a few years. I purchased our current chicks through our local feed store but I would like to get different breeds of layers next year as well as my meat birds. Does anybody have recommendations for good hatcheries for layers and meat birds?

    Uninsulated coop in northern areas

    We partially covered the ceiling so they can’t roost in the rafters anymore. We also covered the back wall with plywood inside to stop the draft on windy nights and we changed up the roosting bars but I can’t figure out how to set up the poop board because of the location of the nesting boxes...

    I am a chicken newbie and I was wondering what this whitish on the comb could be? Maybe it’s normal, I have no idea
