PM Hillbilly Hen (Laura). She may know someone. When she shut down her flocks I took some heritage German New Hampshires. She got them from someone on this site and gave some away to someone else on this site (or used to be anyway). I ended up selling my breeding pair when my chicken math got the better of me.

I have 1 of her NH's beautiful hen, loves to go broody and is a persistent momma, she is still hanging with the last chicks she hatched last summer, 1 has laid her firs egg this week.I also have a Delaware, from Laura, they are so pretty and friendly, I think she may have gotten some of them from Wynett??


Nice birds, birdman, love the pea's, so pretty.

Bob, so good to have you back, don't worry about keeping up, just pop in any time you want

Hi!

Snowflake, Jeffers and Randal Burke both have it

Thanks Mary, I have their catalogs and both show the 2 liquid bottles, I have called Jeffers before and the person I talked to said they didn't carry it. maybe I am asking wrong or getting the wrong person I will call again on Monday.

I am sitting were I can see our crab apple tree and feeders, we have the prettiest blue birds. Think I will put a water dish out for them

Is this what you are looking at? The small bottle is the wafer.

It is said that their are some things that you don't want to know how they are made, and sausage is one of them. Often made of lesser cuts of meat, meat scraps, fat, and cereal fillers ground into a disgusting looking glob and then seasoned with spices to obtain the desired taste.

By making your own you can insure that the quality of the meat is substantially better. Last week David and I made a cotto type salami with quality beef, pork trimmings, corn syrup solids, soy protein, white pepper, and garlic. Packed into a 3" fiberous casing then smoked and cooked for 10 hours. The end result was a salami of much finer quality than anything you can buy.

Today we sliced and vacuum sealed about 16 pounds and just the aroma was enough to make to appreciate the value of making your own luncheon meats.
