    Burnt a stainless teapot, what to do?

    I'm sorry, I don't know how to help. But that pretty much sums up how I feel about Amazon.

    Roosters attacking a hawk!

    If that hawk lives, it will probably swear off chickens for the rest of its life.

    I'm confused by people sometimes.

    Thankfully most people I know are not getting chickens, but they ARE requesting and buying eggs from backyard chicken people and farmers instead of going to the store.

    in this random rambling thread we post random pictures

    This is a BYC member's chicken. Chickenzoo is their username. I knew I've seen that picture before, LOL. Are the other costumes from BYC too? The horse head one - how did they get a chicken to cooperate with that???

    What type of rooster is this?

    So far that's the best picture I can get. He is a stray that has been lurking in the woods by the coop for about 2 weeks. He's obviously been introducing himself to my hens while we were at work. His comb is flat, maybe a pea comb? I cannot catch him to quarantine and don't want to kill him. My...

    Let's share our chicken decor!

    Yay! More chicken decor. The feed bags are awesome. It reminds me of how people made clothing from flour sacks.

    What are you canning now?

    I do agree with your thoughts on growing your own food. I hate to be all doom and gloom, but I don't like where we are headed either. Good luck with your tomato harvest. I can't grow a good crop of tomatoes to save my life lately. Gonna give it another try though here soon for an autumn harvest...

    What are you canning now?

    I use freshly chopped up cucumbers that go right into the jar and then fill with hot brine before canning, so I guess that would be "cold pack"? That probably cools down the water too much. I just realized that my mom made pickles before and definitely didn't can them cause she doesn't have the...

    What are you canning now?

    Yes, a mixture of "straight 8" and "pickler's choice" cucumbers. I just made some more and probably overcooked them too waiting for the water to boil again Would it be possible to can using a propane burner? I do not have a gas stove and the glass top stove I have is unreliable for controlling...

    What are you canning now?

    I was wondering if any of you know what I did wrong here. I am used to canning pints and have had pints of pickles turn out great. For the first time about a month ago I canned a few quarts of dill pickles. I am just now eating them and they have turned to mush. Not appetizing at all. Did I boil...
