Popping in to say hi to everyone. Have really missed everyone---trying to catch up........ Have learned how to jerk meat==specifically duck breast meat. Have speckled sussex, buckeyes and ameracuana eggs in the incubator. Just got bigincubator turned on. Not sure DH is happy about that...

YUMMMM LOL yup "cubed" would have meant chunks to me too. THough for tougher cuts, a good pounding certainly tenderized the cut. Good catfish is my favorite fish!!!!

Thanks ROn. Thanks again. VT has a reputation for preserving agricultural ways.

Hopefully you will get a lot of replies... with lots of differing opinions. I tend to like a broody best; otherwise, my LG with self installed computer fan is pretty good for the price. When that is full I use my Henny Penny made from a nice plastic cooler. It is very reliable, though not user...

Yeahhhhhhh............too cold here for the turkeys yet.. Popsicle eggs are not fun, except to crack open and cook..... the buckeyes are laying, and I have the incubator almost ready to heat up!!!!! Hmmm me thinks tomorrow is a good day for a turkey dinner, FRESH turkey dinner.

Beer can. I would find a way to play hooky and visit the other side of the mtn. lol We learn more when others teach a listening student. In this area such teachers are beyond rare. So much of my learning is trial n error. Thank goodness i did apply myself in college but a degree in animal...

Nankins is the ancient bantam breed i was looking for. Not a good meat bird and not a good egg layer but i do wonder at the potental value in not needing a lot of food everyday compared to the high egg layers....for a farm producing its own feed... in a suitable climate as it needs prtection...

hmmm... who remembers the name of the chicken that only comes in bantam?? An old breed so perhaps it was bred for laying...

Will have to try this recipe. Especially on the old birds.

Yup, we loose 1-2 to juvenile hawks in the late summer and early fall . . . their punishment is that the chicken killed is too big to carry off. No reward. They try elsewhere next time--lots of woods to hunt in next door. Victim becomes dog food. Tough being a young bird used to mom and dad...

Happy Holidays to all!! Been working too many hours and am still 120 pages behind . . . . We are adding the second section onto the big coop. Debating on the roofing material. 25$ for a sheet of metal roofing, 55$ for the almost clear fiberglass sheeting. . . .. that or rolled asphalt...

With this example, 10% survive and carry on producing the next generations. Whether or not it is enough to rebuild a large population is another matter. A lot of "scary" is because most people don't have a clue about diseases and believe the news without questioning the information. They don't...

I think of the colds the kids get at school. THey are always getting something. BUt the rational , via school nurse , is that previous exposure lessens the reaction to the current sub-strain. . . . . THis is the same thinking behind vaccinating horses for the " flu". It lessens the reaction to...

Will be hard to see the resistance if the state swoops in and culls the whole flock if a few birds get sick . . . . perhaps sense will prevail before too many flocks are destroyed. Has any one read of recommendations for the home flocks, as in burn the bodies and disinfect? I'm betting more...
