    15 eggs moved to hatcher this morning. I am now thinking those yellow poults I posted pic of are possible royal palm from my tri color palm and sweetgrass hens.

    I like head cheese but decided it was to much work to make since I just had 1 head from a 250# pig (hanging weight). Plus the new butcher I went to skinned the pig. I opted for soaking in an apple juice, acv mix over night and smoked it for 8 hours with pecan wood. Was still very tasty.

    Blood Ring??

    I have never seen a blood ring like that either. How are you incubating them? on side manually turning or upright in an automatic turner? What day are they on?

    Memphis I have no idea on color. For some reason I did not mark this batch of eggs for what pen they were from. I am just hoping they are not going to be white. If they are then that means my slate tom is carrying a white gene since I have him with a white hen and 2 black hens.

    Turkeys since ducks like to have water to get into.

    White holland heritage turkeys

    I would go with 8-10 hens for 2 toms. 1 tom can take care of 10 hens for breeding but 4-5 hens per tom works well. They can go broody and hatch their own poults. I have 9 hens with 2 toms. 5 went broody and are setting on eggs right now. Just be aware when they go broody the toms will take a...

    Helpful hints for building coops

    I saw talk of witching. It does not need water running thru to witch. I pick up old abandoned pipe lines witching doing utility locates. I pick up telephone and electrical lines also. You can also locate a grave. I have had to witch a couple graves when no headstone in place to know if spot is...

    All this mess with virus makes me thankful I live in such a small town. On a normal day I may come in close proximity to only 2-3 people. So it has not affected my daily life. Still go to town for things every couple weeks but am more conscientious of sanitizing hands and items.
