    I'm actually down to 12, 5 are bantams, and it is quite a bit easier.

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I had terrible problems with my allergies last year, actually ended up on a Trelegy inhaler for a while. Possibly heading towards COPD. Since then I've stuck to a strict schedule of a Claritin, a Mucinex, and a steroid nasal spray every evening, and have not ended back up at the walk-in clinic...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I had to catch a hen inside the outdoor pen one time and my rooster at the time, a truly wonderful bird, came charging out through the pop door with his feathers all poofed out. He saw me, and saw what I was doing, and just slumped down, and watched while I did what I had to do and released her...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I wouldn't get too worried about it at this point. They are young and testing their boundaries. Angus was doing just what he should, running toward a ruckus to see what was going on. And Nathaniel is very likely to calm down once he gets a little older. Just looking at their feathers you can...

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I thought I had suddenly lost the hearing in one ear several years ago. Turned out an upper respiratory infection had caused a wax plug in one ear. Problem quickly solved.

    One of my hens has been broody for over 2 months. Usually she breaks after a few weeks if I don't give her eggs but not this time. I finally got fed up and filled her preferred nest box with small pieces of wood, a little bucket, and other lay about stuff. She went inside and stood in front of...

    I do homemade broth all the time, just simmering on the stove for hours whenever I have bones with meat on them. Cooked until the connective tissue separates from the bone.

    Fall landed hard here last night, we are getting lake effect rain, and our high today was about 56. Cold for the next week with rain off and on. More and more trees changing every day.

    We have been living in harmony with a wasp nest that's about 2 ft from my outdoor hose faucet. They know who we are, and we leave them alone. I can tell you a big reason for the lack of insects, amphibians, and birds is because people continue to think that spraying poison to kill bugs they...

    You may be able to follow their recipe if you are an incredibly cautious and precise person, but most people are not. And why take the chance when you can just pressure can?

    I'm sorry to say that there is no way to make sure that a tomato product with other stuff added is safe. If you are testing the acidity before you cook it, once the ingredients break down that will alter the acidity. Pressure canning is the only safe way of putting up salsa. I would not trust...

    You can crush them up and mix with some yogurt or applesauce

    I'm always happy until late summer when I can combine everybody into one pen so much easier to do chores.

    And please folks, no matter what kind of tomatoes you can, make sure you add bottled lemon juice as directed depending on the size of the jar, and properly process them. If there is anything other than tomatoes in the jar they must be pressure sterilized.
