calling any one from missouri

It ferments overnite into a nice yeasty smelling mash. In hot weather if I leave it longer than overnite, it gets too 'sharp.' Sometimes I just make a mash without fermenting it, but it ferments in their bowls as the day gets warmer.

I make mash from the powder left from the crumbles but never tried to let it ferment... going to try that.

Yes, in the last 2 that is what I did. Usually I part them down more into boneless breasts, wings, thighs and drumsticks. I save they heart, gizzard and liver but don’t calculate those into the weight.
The roosters were all parted out. So they weighed a bit more as roasters than what I listed but not too much more.

Thanks. I haven't weighed my BA cockerels yet bc I was not sure of the proper procedure. I think they were only 14 weeks old, so a bit young for dual purpose. I'm not awesome at keeping records obviously, still kinda doing things by the seat of the pants.

It's 75º here and has been cloudy all morning. It never did rain.

Didn't "feel" as hot this morning so I finished splitting the red oak quarters I noodled up a couple of weeks ago... still need more firewood.

Wish you were closer. I have a massive red oak tree in my yard that died last year.

I know! It sure did threaten to but it did not.
I debated watering the maters for an hour and finally decided I may as well.

I'm going to have to get me a black light so I can go hornworm huntin in the mornings like JT!

I turned on the garden sprinklers and this turtle came out onto the black plastic I use to block weeds and was happily drinking from puddles.

It is not the cucumber turtle. This one may have become trapped in the garden before I put up the fence. I brought it out, not sure what its story is.

CT2 would be a good name

Minutes later, the cucumber turtle was in the same spot. He went over to the fence and tried to get out. He must have known that I removed the other turtle, maybe his mate. Maybe his enemy. I had to make another opening for him. I didn't see the other turtle.

Ok, now she’s just showing off ...

she brought in a ‘pack rat’ from the shed tonight.... I’d set a trap last night after seeing some sign that one had moved in, but had nothing this morning...

apparently she’s just trying to make me look bad
