WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took me a little over 4 hours to catch up! You guys have been busy! Miss me much?? LOL
QUESTION: anyone ever used the "if the egg points on one end it's a rooster, if it is mostly rounded it is a hen" before putting them in the bator? Read it somewhere that rounded eggs were hens, that you could choose what to incubate... ny truth in this at all or all fiction?
I have already sold over 50 chicks I hatched so far, and have to now hatch my own for my freezer and laying stock.... so it would be good to know if it is possible.
SO, I am coming to Covington on the 13th of June for the weekend. If there was a party at PETRUS in Alexandria, I WANNA DANCE TOO!!! LOL
I would like to meet as many of you as possible since I seldom travel and it may be my only chance for a while... pm me if you'd like to try to meet up. I am going to Angelisici's place for sure since some of us up here ordered meaties I gotta pick up. Then I am definitely meeting up with Pam somewhere, some way for sure... (my sweet soap maker).
So, our garden is BURSTING! Squash plants have leaves the size of my tooshie... which is a BIG OL LEAF! I can tell ya that... Cayennes seem to be growing good and tomato plants just showed their first lil green babies! Only ended up with 1/8 of the onions I planted, first time for me so gonna have to get more tips to do better next time.
Found an awesome wild blackberry patch 2 miles from my house while walking one day, so I go pick 3 times a week. Have 5 gallon bags full already so looks like I am gonna have some awesome blackberry syrup and jam this year! Then the dewberries are just everywhere! SO EXCITED! My customers have already put in some orders so here I go canning away!
Loved all the pics, jokes, and competitiveness with Wisconsin.... just got so busy!!
I thought you were going to baton rouge. Covington is only a short ride for me. Whats your plans you'll be their the whole weekend I know you have some plans What and when will you be free' I thought your 5k was in baton rouge?
easy but packing costs can kill low cost if we aren't careful. For our own dinner birds or quartered birds we use ziploc bags to save the fancy packaging for customers
should have seen hubbys face when I pulled out dinner one day (a fully packaged/weighed and labeled bird
) he was like OMG we just ATE $3 bucks we didn't have too! Atta boy! The more we save doing the cheaper we can provide it to our friends and community members!
love her! We will have some more chickens soon! Hehehehe
