Sounds like a throwback Roche. My cuckoos hate me!

I had a sick teenager when they hatched and didn't spend as much time with them as I did my EE hatch so these birds aren't friendly to me at all. They actually think I am satan incarnate!

Hehe but they're growing and looking so pretty. One featherfoot...2 roos, 3 pullets.

I was thinking throwback too, but I guess I will just have to wait until they get bigger.

ChickyTocks, I'm sure they don't hate you, just maybe jealous that mommy isn't spending as much time with them. Sounds just like kids!

Day 31 for the muscovy eggs under my broody cochin. Checked on them today and they are rocking around a little!

As promised the recipes.

Hollandaise
4 egg yolks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 stick melted butter
Pinch cayenne
Pinch salt

In a blender mix the yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper until smooth and lighter in color, then very slowly drizzle in the butter until your sauce is thickened. Heat it slowly in a double boiler constantly stirring if you wish, or just serve it as is room temp from the blender.

Mayo
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 cup veg oil
pinch of sugar

Combine everything in the blender except the oil, start the blender and let it go until everything looks well mixed, then slowly drizzle oil until you have the thickened mayo.

Now for either of these you can change any of the acids to another acid or combos of them, you can add more spices, herbs can be added, garlic can be added, you can use honey instead of sugar in the mayo, for a thicker mayo add an extra egg, use different oils or combos of oils. Both recipes are awesome as is. Playing around with the ingredients has show me they are hard to screw up, so have fun. Plus if you mess it up just dump it and start over, you know you have plenty of eggs!

Thank you Jarhead, looks like something I shouldn't be able to mess up too easily! LOL

Boy you guys are chatty. My husband's brother drowned a week ago last Sunday and my mother is in the hospital with MRSA Staph in her mouth so life has been really hectic.

I'm been a little down that I haven't been able to keep up with my poultry and my kids have been having to take care of them for me. While I take care of family. I've been thinking if I need to take a break. I am taking my baby ducks and silkie/sumantra and silkie/phoniex chicks to the auction Saturday. My daughter wants to keep the 3 baby ducks that has a top notch.

The cat ran in the house yesterday and killed 4 baby quail out of my brooder. GRRRR

I love reading all about your chickens.

Amanda my son-in law might be getting in touch with you about some chickens.

That will be fine Jackie --

We are sorry to hear about your loss.

Your son-in-law is more than welcome to contact me.
I also have coturnix quail chicks if you are interested.

I was going to go to the sale Sat but I can't make it b/c I have to care for hubby's g-mother that day.
