I only use it to make bread, cinnamon rolls and pancakes right now. Still looking for a way to use it in my pizza dough. I'm picky about pizza dough.

I can second the part about the hooch, mine usually gets one if I don't feed it for a few days but it doesn't hurt the starter any. Totally harmless.

Now if it starts molding or smelling off, then you might have something wrong and you should probably throw it away.

Yes, the liquid is harmless. The sourdough ... If he drinks the liquid, he will not be so harmless! He gets very ... Sour!
Edited because the picture didn't post.

does everyone else who helps you out always get something out of it. Some times it is nice to do for others just because you can.

I,probably will.he only has ten eggs.so I will probably set thirty Silkie eggs for me.

No, I haven't tried it.  I was just reading up on fruit trees the other day to see what is recommended for Missouri.  They article was talking about which root stocks were better for our area than others.  Hubby asked what I wanted for my B'day (in March) and I said fruit trees.  He asked me for a list so I spent the afternoon researching & compiling a list.  Then, last night he said he is going to try to get the root cellar turned into a brooder/isolation/hospital like I had mentioned.  So... I guess, no fruit trees for me this year.  Maybe I'll just buy some myself!

Looks like I got the message mixed up I thought we were talking tomatoes and grafting them. Maxifort is a tomato grafting tomato stock not for fruit trees. Lol
As I get older the fruit tree root stock that the fruit tree stays dwarf or semi dwarf is looking much better to me. Can't stay on the ladders like I used to. Grafting is fun.

Maran hatch final thought... I was looking at the chicks and it occurred to me all 12 Wheaton Marans hatched. Out of 14 bcm eggs only 3 hatched. Could this have anything to do with the terrible hatch rate? Or was it just something I did wrong? I know I should do an eggtopsy but not sure if I have the stomach for it.

So found a great idea for a water tray in any homemade incubator. I wanted something that when you fill it from the outside it fills up 1 spot then over flows into the next increasing humidity if you needed to because of surface area. Ice cube trays! The one that worked for me is a stick type meant to make ice sticks for water bottles. The regular ice cube trays are too long I got both of these from dollar stores, blue one from dollar tree and white one from 99cent store.




Should work great for a cooler bator too!

Brilliant idea! I love it!

Hey guys!
My show went great. My 5 and a half month old Cockeral got 4th out of 15 prospect birds. All my birds beat there previous scores but unfortunately the hens froze on the table. I got a new pair though and the rooster made it to the second tier.
