    I have a misting system in my coop because my girls are SUPER SPOILED!!! I also have a white cotton curtain on the side of the coop that gets the most heat. If it gets super-hot, I put a bit of Pedialyte in their water. Again. Super. Spoiled.

    What are you canning now?

    This is the last week of loquats. I'm going to get outside after work today and fill up as many bags as I can. I'm going to make one big batch of loquat butter, one batch of ice cream and puree and freeze the rest. Then hopefully I can get a manicure in a couple of weeks for a party I'm...

    What are you canning now?

    My pits just pop right out. Here's my technique. Slice down the center with a paring knife. Peel, pop pits out with the blossom end. In two hours, I usually have a good 6-8 lbs. done minimum. If you have a friend over, you can double that! If I was having more issues than that, I...

    What are you canning now?

    Loquats, loquats and more loquats! I have about 300 pounds on my tree and I've already canned 3 dozen jars of jam. This weekend I'll do jelly, chutney, and probably fruit leather. I'm also planning on making a couple of loaves of bread to freeze and perhaps a kuchen or two. Loquats started...

    We recently rescued an abandoned Maltipoo and I am happy to report, she is great with the chickens. She sort of just ignores them. And I agree with ellandeeranch. Character, fiber, protein.

    Comment by 'SophieL' in article 'Composting With Chickens'

    Great article! I'm putting my latest round of compost into one of my "wintering" beds and giving them a nice healthy and happy place to scratch around and finish my compost! (BTW I'm in Southern California, so we don't actually have winter like the rest of y'all).
