That is a very happy looking boy. Congrats!

I usually milk my cows but haven't, lately. Jersey cow milk has high levels of butterfat and the butter is naturally a more yellow color than butter made from other breeds. Grass fed cows also have more beta carotene in their milk, which makes the butter a brighter yellow.

Some commercial butter and margarine are colored yellow to make it more appealing to the consumer.

I was without internet for five days! finally getting all caught up.  And of course, here I am reading BYC and I am once again hungry!! I'm gonna have to stop reading this after 10pm.    

updates here, got four amazing tolbunt polish from cheryl and 2 jubilee roos.  Yay! Thx!  My whole family has already fallen in love with the polish.  they are so fun and cute and surprisingly docile for what I was expecting. they are the new favorite chicken to watch.

i'm winding up my last hatches for a bit. Yay!  And I discovered that the barn isn't a great place for me to brood my chicks.  I was having quite a few losses then moved the next batches to the garage and had 1 loss in like 100 chicks and it was just weak from hatch and never really took off.  I also changed my brooder style and used an old crib to make into a brooder. I'll have to take a pic.  Sad use of a crib but no on will take them as donations so they are easy to get for free.  

Oh, and most importantly, we had our baby!  Zachariah David born on wednesday. 7 lb, 8 oz.  healthy happy little dude!!



now off to find some food!    Happy post thanksgiving!

OMG Jeff, he is perfect. I have been thinking of you.
Was he delivered at home? What day did he arrive ?

So, it's similar to egg yolks in chickens with the beta carotene. Cool.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't. The kid in that commercial annoys me enough I want to smack them

I wondered where you had been lately. I bet you don't keep that one in the Barn!

My Youngest was born at home. We had the water tub but she wound up being born on the bed. It was an amazing experience!
