Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

Make smaller oblongs 1/4 inch thick and you can make Chalupas!

Funny thing is I've never had a problem with this press, not in the last ten years. And today it decides to act up. ARG

I got a slow motion video of my chickens rolling in dust and it is the best thing so far today!

I do not see any video . . . since we are watching for squatch, video of chickens would seem to be on the topic of this thread!

I also have to say my Spanish rice is not visually appealing but tastes much better than what you normally get. I got a little heavy handed on the cumin, which turned it almost black rather than pink.



Show us.

Do you rinse your rice in hot water first then fry in a little oil till toasted golden brown(drain excess oil) before adding the rest? Makes the rice nice and fluffy.

I have a chicken question but no video.
I keep learning that chickens are very sensitive to change.

What about environmental temperature change?

Yesterday it was a balmy, humid 85 degrees here. Cold front swept in, overnight low high forties, today was a brisk very low humidity 55.

Only 1 girl laid an egg today. This has not happened since they started laying.
1 or two might skip a day, but FIVE????

And my broody buff who just got back to normal 3 weeks ago is definitely a passenger on the broody train AGAIN!

Can I chalk this up to a 30 degree dip in temperature?

@rjohns39 - dinner sounds delish. Some of my ugliest offerings have been gastronomic heaven.

Yup, but my tomato sauce is a bit darker than store bought as well. No coloring added.

Yup that can cause a shortage of eggs.

My paste is really dark... and not going to make it again. I'll buy store bought paste for the level of effort involved in making it.

Chickens hate Fall. Temps swing, days are shorter, and after a frost the bugs are gone.
