Cochix- so funny!! My rooster is so good with his ladies. Now that everyone is getting close or already laying, dandelions leaves, marigold petals and sprouted boss seeds get everyone clamoring for them. Sprouted boss seeds are better than mealworms to my chickens, as it's the only time their pecking gets a bit bitey. I put a new batch at the gate into the new enclosed chicken run and threw the brooder box pine shavings deep litter method onto them and wetted it down.

Yeah this morning I was "Winter is coming!" & 'oh no, is it going to be too cold to put these 5 little chicks I just got outside in a month or are they going to be in the barn in brooder boxes for a month or two?' Thinking in my head, taking into account my atrocious chicken math, my bf's seeming willingness to buy into whatever new chicken/garden/homsteading quasi planned but mostly just doing as much as I can to get ready to really get next summer ready.

Blanching tomato branches? Do tell more!! My tomatoes are going nuts!! I'm needing to find vintage canning jars, b/c I bought some recently and I put ice water in one and it cracked!! So IDK if it would be wise to try actually canning in these jars.

Does anyone in CO have any extra vintage canning jars they're wanting to trade for tomatoes/chickens? Lol

I got regular ball Mason jars, and they all cracked within a week and I was just using them to drink water.

I don't know where you're at, but this person has a lot of used jars pretty cheap.

I can pretty frequently and use a mix of older jars and new ones and haven't had a problem. I don't use them for really cold stuff like ice water though.

I'm near Denver, I'll probably end up going and grabbing some vintage canning jars at an auction place I go to regularly and have furnished most of my household including my kitchen from this place, a new custom high end down filled silk kidney shaped loveseat for $12 with tax type of place.

Sleep is calling me.. to get up early to tend to my flocks.

I have the very last Cream Legbar chicks available...one male and two females. PM if interested.
I am so happy to put the incubator away, and even more happy to be done with the Creams. Super excited about the 19 Cochins we're growing out, hopefully we'll have a beautiful blue, black and splash flock next year.
Also have a 15 week old Partridge cochin Roo, still. Pm if interested.

I have a SLW roo available, about 5-6 weeks old. Friendly. $5
I'll be driving from Elizabeth to Ft Collins tomorrow and can drop him off on the way.
