Did I tell y'all that I water glassed some eggs last fall? Four dozen. And they are just lovely! The yolks are a tiny but fragile on some, so I have sometimes ended up scrambling dor breakfast burritos instead of cooking over easy, but other that that, they are perfectly fine for snything you may want to use them for. Taste and texture is just lovely. I recommend it. Remember to use PUCKLING LIME, not pickling salt, and read safety directions. You can get it in the canning section of your grocery store i used a pickling crock and covered it with a dinner plate but there are other options. Search "water glass" or "water glassing" here on BYC.

That sounds wonderful! I’d love to do that, the only thing I really need is more chickens! I have a pickle crock I don’t use anymore too! When I think how much I paid for that thing nothing would make me happier than filling it full of eggs!

Thanks for the tips Bruce. I’m hoping I’ll get eggs through winter since my newbies aren’t laying yet.

The two times I got chicks at the end of April they started laying in the fall then quit for the winter. All other times I've gotten them in early June and they've all laid through their first winter.

Of course my climate and yours are not at all similar so my experience might not reflect what happens elsewhere.

I also went out muzzleloader target shooting. I set my target at 50 yards, and I cannot believe I hit it.

Wow nice shot. You do know that you can buy paper targets right? No need to damage real money

It is hard to bake when it gets that hot!

Our head deaconess won't be here this Sabbath, so I'm the pinch-hitter, so to speak, to provide the unleavened bread for Communion this Sabbath. Normally we have Communion once a quarter but it's been very irregular since Covid. This is half whole wheat, half AP flour, oil, salt and water. This was before it went in the oven. So much symbolism in this, I always find it deeply moving when I make it.

I’m going to try this recipe on Mother’s Day. My mother is Dutch, so I think she will like it.

We still get fewer hours of sun, it’s just not as cold here. My first flock laid through the first winter, we’ll see what happens with these girls.
