"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

YES! I would love to try a different recipe. Can you recommend a good website where I can order soap molds? I just used a container and cut them into bars but I would like to get soap molds.

I like the silicone molds I buy mine from essential depot. They have sales regularly. Keep the box it ships in this will keep the mold from bowing when you make the soap. I by different oils and butters at different places. They have excellent Shea butter and cocoa butter at good prices. Pam
 
We are building a new coop. Here's a pic of day one lay out and footers.

The other pic is the studio we are building . Hopefully the coop will look like the studio.
 
Can ya'll give me some advice on skinning? I tried but ended up just tearing his legs up because I couldn't get the skin off :-/. I ended up plucking, which wasn't that hard after dunking in the hot water, but skinning would have been easier if I could have gotten the skin off. Do you also gut them while skinning? Thanks :).

I'm not a pro at it but what worked for me was that I pulled a few feathers from the back. Once I had a good plucked area, I pulled the skin, cut about 1 inch slit and then I grabbed the skin and pulled it to one side and then grab another section and pulled it to the other side until I had pulled it all the way off. No meat damaged. It was a perfect skinning.
 
Yes and I can't find anything visibly wrong with it

See if she will let you feel it. Do you feel any bumps? If you feel it and she pulls away at a certain area. Then you have found the area of pain. Look for bumps or cuts or a splinter. What are you using for bedding?
 
I've always used pine shavings

It seems to be where the bottom of the leg and top of the foot meet. I don't see anything visibly wrong, but that's where the pain seeme to be when I was examining it

Pine should be fine. I saw the chicken whisperer . He talked about checking there feet once a week. No bumps is a good thing. He did talk about the weight of the bird jumping to and from the purch . That it's a lot of force that the roost should be sanded to have less risk of injury. Maybe she jumped wrong and sprained her foot ankle . If it was me and I couldn't find any injury just pain I would soak in Epsom salt for a short time tonight in warm water. When I put her in the coop I would not let her jump. Or isolate so she can heal. Soak again in morning see if it seems better if not look closer and ask kuntrygirl ,forever, or Jeff .keep us informed. Pam
