    Silkies will absolutely stand in the spots of rain. Why mine are fully roofed and I tarp sides for winter. Im not sure how to fix you're issue. If you can do the gutters that would probably be best

    They are good 3-5 years on beans. Some even sprout after years longer

    The black bears we occasionally get have left my pens alone. Dogs, weasels, coyotes, and hawks are my usual problems in that order. Since the neighbors problem dog was hit by a car haven't had the dog issue again. Their current dogs are all kenneled.

    I have chainlink with 1/4 over. It stops weasels, thankfully or I'd have lost the silkies as well as the large fowl who didn't have the hardware cloth. The only raccoons we've had have stayed away from the chickens. My german shepherd killed the opossum that killed some of my hens. Nothing...

    Because they spread disease and some chickens wont attack them. My silkies generally will attack rats. We have shrews here as well that can go through 1/2. They don't go after feed, though. Voles will get caught up in 3/4 because they are dumb as bricks. Rats will chew a way if they can. Only...

    The wheaten ameraucana I had would all go broody once a year. All were calm mothers. I've had other breeds that I wouldn't allow eggs again. The silkies can vary but seem to do best with the co-parenting. When I incubate, I set humidity to 45%. Humidity pump doesn't come on much if ever...

    Mine never can decide or coordinate. Ive had them molt in December even. Just walk out to the pens and it looks like a chicken exploded

    Apricot-pineapple jam is really good. Mom was right. On second batch now.

    Mom did bechamel sauce with cheese and tuna added in. Then mixed that with the noodles and veggies. Hubby doesn't care much for it so I haven't made it in years.

    27° last night. Very clear. Bright sun now. Tossed the old bath sheet over hubby's windshield last night so no scraping

    I like the rockfish. I love salmon. Trout is basic fish for me since I grew up eating a lot of it. We angled down by Mcnary Dam. Didn't need a license until 14 so parents or just Mom would take us the couple miles to fish for dinner.

    I know you can make liquid pectin from green apple peels. Some fruits just have a lot on their own

    Not for these. They are naturally full of it. Regular European crabapples have quite a bit. Even eating apples have some. Not quite ripe apples have the most and the sour apples like Granny Smith are best for getting your own pectin

    Jelly. They don't taste like European crabapples. Make sure you're generous on the water in this recipe or it will be too thick. Cover Pacific crabapples with water and simmer. Mash occasionally until soft. Strain through jelly bag. 1 cup juice 3/4 cup sugar Bring to boil. Boil about 20...
