➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

I don't have any pumpkins, but my butternut squash plants went into over-drive this summer. I made spicy roasted "fries" last night and need to come up with some more recipes.

So, something weird on the chicken front. I processed one of my extra cockerels today. It was always a bit on the small and skinny side, but otherwise was bright-eyed, good appetite, looked 100% healthy. I noticed today that its cecal poos were really, really stinky and yellowish. I had been planning on processing him for awhile, but those stinky droppings sealed the deal. Anyway, everything inside looked totally normal. Liver a good color, no tumors or lesions, except that its ceca looked kind of lumpy and had black patches all over it. I was a bit stumped? Could it be a carrier for black head? I decided to put the meat in the dog food pile, rather than the sausage pile.

We use it for soup filler. Pumpkin/butternut squash soup. Allrecipes.com has several.
Roasted butternut squash is delightful with mixed roasted veggies. Potatoes and sweet taters are popular.

What are you going to use them all for?

I'm not really sure. I guess just like decoration or something maybe? I thought maybe I could sell some but they're too small to sell and not very many. Idk, I just like bought pumpkin seeds kinda late in the season and planted them lol they kinda took over

That’s called a pocket hole, you need a special pocket hole jig thinger to do those.

Hi!

It's called a Kregs tool. Their kinda expensive, especially if you don't use them often.

Gloves?
"Peeling up or in the opposite direction" Love it. That would be "down". I'll have to use this one.
Clean quail like chickens, geese, ducks or ostriches. Must be a bird thing.

Our pastures, pond, and yards are completely flooded all from the rain we’ve gotten today. Our pond was completely dry this morning. This is what it looked like at 5pm. Now it’s where I was standing to take the picture, and we’re still getting heavy rains. The roads to our house are underwater. It’s bad. However, the ducks feel like they are living in paradise.
