    I have not seen any dish soap or salve recipes. Did you want bar or liquid hand soap?

    Soap Makers Help!

    Has anybody tried to replicate the Aveda scent? I LOVE the scent and I would like to try to make some goat's milk bar soap with this scent. I found on-line that the Aveda scent is composed of the following: lavender, ylang-ylang, bergamot, rosemary, peppermint, and orange, but I have no idea...

    What age to butcher turkeys

    You may break-even if you raise the broad breasted variety. If you raise heritage breeds, you'll probably lose money (especially if you factor in your time). Turkeys can be difficult to raise and they need a higher protein feed which costs more money. The broad breasted typically can not...

    I think you're talking about another, ah sheesh I don't know the terminology, anyway, this one is called "Soap Makers Help"; the one that you're referring to is called "Soap Makers Reference Thread" here on BYC.

    I'm knitting, reading and disgusted with soaping! My recipe keeps seizing when I add the EO's. Swirler is taking a look, hopefully he/she can solve my soap problem.

    Soap Makers Help!

    I'm sorry for the slow response Swirler, I didn't get a notificaiton about your response. I made four different batches. One batch was a single scent, and I think the other three batches were combo's of different scents (a combo of two). I bought them at Michael's Crafts. My lye says 100%. My...

    This is my second season of soap making and I'm have a problem with seizing. I'm going to try not ramble so please stick with me! I mix my oils on the stove and set on low to warm/dissolve/mix. The temp ends up between 90-100. Mean while, I mix my lye and frozen goats milk. The final temp...

    Want to Start Raising Turkeys with my Chickens

    Poults require a higher protein food (such as Game Bird Startena), as do the adults. Depending on the prevalence of blackhead in your area (call your local ag dept for the prevalence answer) it's okay to house/range your adult chickens and adult turkeys together. You should provide a general...

    Raising Chickens for Meat

    Yes, you need to keep them separated from the egg layers. They are too small to defend themselves from a full sized bird. If the egg layers are close to their age, then yes, they can live together.

    Welsummers and Anconas

    Anocoas are pretty but very skittish. Unfortunatley, my ancona broke her neck in the chain link fence so I never got any eggs from her. They are supposed to be good layers of white eggs.
