I did 4 minutes in the large (12 qt) pressure cooker. What I noticed was that the top ones weren’t quite cooked enough but the lower down ones were. This reinforces my thought that the large pot may be too big. I plan to try the 8 quart one and see how that compares.
Ha ha, thanks. I forget it’s there because it’s been years since I looked at BYC on anything other than my phone! Somehow it’s set up to not include any signatures.
Edit: it’s the portrait orientation. I keep my phone locked in it. If I go to landscape, everything shows.
My first two black Langshans (from a show breeder) would have been 9 years old this spring. They died over the winter. Pretty pleased with that age.
I also had two that died who would have been 7. Those ones descended from chicks I got from MMcM. First time in 9 years that I have no Langshans...
Ok, so I did a little experiment and boiled 8 goose eggs in my 3 quart pan that I use for boiling a dozen chicken eggs for eating. I took one egg out at 10 minutes of boiling (simmering), one out at 12 minutes, one at 14 minutes, and the rest out at 16 minutes. Here they are, 10-16 minutes, left...
10 minutes in the pressure cooker may have been too long…
Part of the problem may be that I do huge batches to feed out to the birds. So it takes a long time for the whole thing to come up to pressure. I may have to do a test batch with a smaller number of eggs.
Apparently nobody on the internet knows how long to hard boil goose eggs in normal boiling water, let alone in an Instant Pot.
I found some soft-boiled goose egg recipes, and some for hard boiling duck eggs. So, I decided to just do 10 minutes in my electric pressure cooker. (NOT an Instant...
This was my first pair of chicken yard shoes. I absolutely loved them, but years later when they wore out and needed to be replaced, they were discontinued. Now I randomly buy any type of slip on clog, with holes for summer and without holes for winter. (That is, when I don’t need to wear rain...
It seems like you have enough run space that you could temporarily close up the run and not allow any free ranging until the cockerels learn to stand up to the two bully hens. Assuming the run part is predator proof, the cockerels would be safe overnight on nights that they can’t get past the...
That could be. Another thing I’ve noticed is that my ambient humidity changes with the season. I would have good hatch rates in the spring, and as summer progressed with higher humidity, my hatch rates would go down because of chicks drowning after pipping. My basement humidity seems more...
TSC does have a reasonable daily rate to rent a trailer. If neither your truck nor your friend’s truck can tow the trailer, I bet the Home Depot truck can.
Also, I once saw photos on line of somebody securing long 2x4s on top of their mini van, and then loading and securing cattle panels on top...
