Thanks everyone. There seems to be some Kim confusion.
To the other Kim... I hope that the New Year brings health to you and your entire family.
Ron, Bavarian Chocolate sounds even better than fudge... yummmm. Your chicks are cute! Such a mixed group, wonder how they will mature?
I am the one with Dorkings and no incubator. So, I'm always trying to talk people into hatching chicks for me. The hens are all together in the mobile coop and not really laying much yet. When they do start laying better, I have to separate them into breeding pens and wait a bit to have pure sired eggs. So, it's going to be a while, if that's ok. It's still cold to be raising chicks, too. My 5 wk. old Dellies are in the open air coop and I still have a heat lamp on them at night. I think the cause of death for the lamb was the cold but am still waiting for the results from UCD.
Have a wonderful day, everyone.
Kim
I was worried that there might be a bit of Kim confusion...
SunnyDawn: I bought the hatching eggs from a Breeder in Elvirta(Towards the Sac River from Roseville). She hatches the chicks sold at the Elvirta Feed Store. I picked the eggs up after work and was allowed to pick the ones I wanted from a tilted flat of eggs. I wanted 6 Marans and si6 Easter Eggers, but there were only 4 Marans. The Rest were EE's, so I picked 8. There were letter and number combinations on the eggs, so I picked up eggs from thee different breeding groups. It looks like I have two buff ones, with one of them looking like a buff blue wheaten. two of them look like chip monks with owl faces and one of them has a reddish brown head with a brown body. The eggs they hatched from were green to Olive with a teal blue one.
Bavarian Chocolate is really good! Here is the recipe:
Blender Chocolate Bavarian
2 Envelopes Gelatin 2 eggs
½ cup cold Milk 1/3 cup sugar
1 package (12 oz) Semi- 2 tablespoons light rum(one tsp vanilla for alcohol free)
Sweet Chocolate Pieces 1 cup ice cubes or crushed ice
1 cup hot milk Whipped Cream (optional)
1 Cup heavy cream
Note: If not eating the right after making, use one envelope of Gelatin. I always make it with one)
Sprinkle gelatin over cold milk in 5-cup blender; let stand until gelatin granules are moistened(alt. method: 1/2 C mild in a 2/3 C measuring cup to moisten then add to blender): Chocolate will be grainy if you are not careful here. Add chocolate (reserve some for garnish if desired) and hot milk. Cover and whirl at low speed until chocolate melts and gelatin dissolves, about 2 minutes. Stop blender. Add cream eggs sugar and rum; cover and whirl at high speed until well mixed. With blender still running, remove center cap of lid and add ice cubes one at a time; whirl until ice melts. Pour at once into individual dessert dishes; chill until set, about ½ hour. Garnish with dollops of whipped cream and a few chocolate pieces. Makes 8-10 servings. Note if made ahead, reduce gelatin to 1 envelope. Will take about 3 hours to set.
Kim from Capay: I figured the Dorking eggs would not be ready yet. Let me know when. I picked up a Chuck roast from Manas Ranch Meats this week--Best Pot roast in years.
