This is Black China, she needs a SILKIE HOME. She is sweet and will be happy with other silkies.

LKD I have a friend looking for a Black pullet.

Great! She had a bath and fluffed, they are so special. PM me.

Have any takers been found for the rabbits? I'd be willing to take any that are large enough for processing as well.

I hope everything is OK for demosthine and family. I'm happy you found homes for the flock.

My 4 girls started laying close to a month ago. It was finally about last Friday that we got one egg from each hen. Since then we have been gathering 4 eggs EVERY day. That makes 10 days in a row that all have laid! Is that unusual? I am new to chickens as an adult. Shouldn't at least one of them have taken a day off by now? I thought most lay for 6 days, then cycle a day off. I'm not complaining but every day I am so surprised to find 4 eggs in the nest box!

Ok I will try that.. But I am telling ya.. I was seriously almost in tears the time before last tring to peel the eggs.. I think that maybe it is the timing?& putting them in at boil. I usually put them in at the beginning.. I do have a steamer that I tried with the poke. They were still hard to get out, then the next batch we cooked a
bit longer, did the poke, waited, then added ice.. It was better, but not in a two peel method you mentioned.. Thanks.

I read on another thread about steaming your eggs, and not in an electric steamer. I used my tall pasta pot with the upper steamer insert. Steam for 15 minutes, douse in cold water for a few minutes. The peels literally slip right off!! Like the two peel method! You can use one of those collapsible type steam baskets too. My eggs were about 3 days old on the counter.

Only problem is the smell is quite powerful, like egg farts! Does that happen with the Cuisinart one, Twinklin?

A Miniature Jersey perhaps or an Irish Dexter? Perfect, fresh cottage cheese, fresh whole raw milk, fresh butter ( salted or not). 1 to 1.5 gals a day. Yum!

I've had cows and don't want any more . I have several horses. We rescue draft and half draft horses and rehabilitate them and then, hopefully, adopt them out to a good homes. We also have 2 goats that we use for milk since I am cow milk intolerant.
