    We take advantages of the loss leaders too, and yes, my wife and I usually get the smallest turkey breast we can find - then split it in half. That's what chest freezers are for. I still have one ham, one turkey breast, three legs of lamb... This will be a tough old bird - but if the one...

    I figured yield is almost as good as a chicken's. Apparently, I'm wrong - its better than a chicken's, so your guess is better than mine.

    He's a Big Breasted Bronze - and the goat behind him is rather small. But yeah, definitely a big bird. I wouldn't be surprised if he's 40#+. He sometimes brushes by me as I'm going to feed the goats and he's running (its more a fast waddle) towards the food - it feels a lot like an eager...

    Yes - there's a {triple explicative} of a cut around a doorframe into the bathroom that has me absolutely terrified. Once it is done, and the piece next to it, the rest of the cuts are (relatively) simple. Click lock flooring just isn't a great choice for continuous run on either side of a...

    No venison. Did get half the RV floored - last couple weekends were cutting screwing down and caulking together the decking to cover the old floor (rotting out). and picked up some 6' black chain link fencing on clearance - going to build a large run for grow out purposes (and to protect the...

    I thought white chocolate was just sugar and fat. Hopefully cocoa butter as that fat, but... If a stick of salted butter is savory, white chocolate is its sweet equivalent. Welcome to the dark side!

    None of the turkey eggs were fertile. That leaves one (1) duck to hatch in the next couple days. Which makes the brooder box thing less critical - I have room for one duck in a way I didn't have room for a half dozen turkeys and a duck.

    Also, a couple eggs in the incubator, due to hatch in the next couple days. Ducks and Turkeys. Haven't candled, have no clue... Desperately need a place to set the brooder box if they do hatch. Headed out to deal w/ that now.

    As with so much else, "the dosage is the poison". Sea salt is good for trace elements - "micronutrients" - its not that it makes the salt "better", its that its providing a source for a lot of things you need only very very tiny amounts of that you may not otherwise be getting from your diet...

    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    My "more promising" chick rate is probably 2.5x that, but as they age up and come into adult plumage, a lot can go wrong. Two batches back, I had two white throwbacks and an almost solid black - they go to freezer camp this week. New they didn't count. Like four of the others had potential. I...

    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    About 1 in 10 what I want. and I'm culling around 70%, mostly males and a couple hens with clearly undesireds.

    If you plant clover, I recommend from experience that you plant several varieties - they will bloom at different times, and prefer slightly different environments. My yellow clover, for instance, only does well where there is some vertical edge - 4x4 posts, fences, trees, large fallen logs...
