Change of plans

[WingItRanch]

I would like everyone's input on what other eggs I should set with the BBS Marans and Ermine eggs?

Your Olive Eggers are really cool looking and people seem to buy them. Maybe more of those?

So what all have you canned?

I canned homemade chicken stock. I called it Roo Broth. My mom thought that was a little dark (dark humor, not color) but oh well.
I also canned pickles, and made dewberry/blueberry jam and canned that. That's it so far! I wanted to do some veggies but our garden kind of failed this year.

Love it! "Roo broth" Do you have any canning books with recipes? I have a couple ball books, and a few Amish books (those are all old school water bath recipes, which I love) I highly recommend trying a variety of things, including pressure canning vs water bathing, to see what you like best. I, personally feel like pressure canning some things changes the texture quite a bit, and I don't care for it. Just start tinkering, and if you have any questions feel free to ask. I get a lot of satisfaction from canning, along with a sense of calm.

Well ty! I think I'll throw in a few of Bella's eggs (the green queen) and see if I can get a pullet this time. I'll definitely be setting some of my Wheatens.

Back to coop clean out, I'm so glad it's only twice a year!
