Here is a link to the recipe my daughter used.
You do need some sort of a double boiler.

My daughter put a layer of whipped cream on top but I enjoy the tartness without it.
She gave use gingerbread cookies to use to dip it on. People use it to make a tart also.

You could use the egg whites for a facial or just feed them back to the chickens. Hmm
Maybe make a meringue for the top.

I move here 24 years ago. last winter was bad by the end of season last year I would just cry everytime I heard snow Are they a Jenkins there is a lot of them here

Nope Langan. They have been there many years! I grew up in Saugus. We moved west about 35 years ago. I love visiting the snow, but have no desire to live in it anymore.

Thank you. It seems simple enough. The chickens love the whites and yolks cook up.

Yes indeed- extremely addictive!  I have plenty - but always enjoy hatching more!  I do sell eggs at work (not for profit) and now my customers would like me to supply them with chickens too! There is a youtube video with chickens as the gateway pet... before you know it you'll have goats & cows too!


This reminds me of a Craigslist add that "rented" out chickens and a small coop for a short period of time (4-6 weeks?) - customers that rented the chickens and coop could then buy the coop if they desired after the rental period was up!  Seems like a pretty good business to me!

That gateway thing might explain my ducks, goats, horses and rabbits!
Maybe I should mention the cow thing to the DW.

My husband is two miles away, staying with his mother. He won't even acknowledge me. I'll save the rest, just saying I'm alone too. I just don't know why.
I hope you have a great day tomorrow. We do have our blessings.

Been there done that. I hope your day has been full of blessings.

I candled for day 14 and all 14 eggs are still alive I had movement in all of them

I set more eggs today (they're not as dark as they look) and I'm up to 16 turkey eggs on the counter, waiting to go in. They're getting set on Sunday I'm ready for chicks to invade

Merry Christmas to me! Another present for me. Pretty small for now, but, will be larger soon enough, came from my RSL. Saw Bubba breeding her yesterday. I thought, she's squatting for him, she should be laying soon. Yep!

I put 21 into lockdown last night. 10 SFH's, 2 Blue Copper Marans, and 9 Isabelle Leghorn eggs. (Had 2 clear SFH and 1 clear Isabelle). The BCM is a new rooster and I can't wait to see how they turn out. The blue hens quit laying after these 2 were laid. The SFH eggs came from OH and are German line, so that is especially exciting too. Last hatch the brinsea wasn't calibrated and it was pretty much a nightmare. I think I have hatching PTSD now. Hope, hope, hope
