Had a fun working with my show cow today. I didn't know any pics were taken so I didn't look at the camera

Also got some pics of Zeus at his new home with all his ladies who aren't pictured. Look how wide he is!! I wish my CX hen would take to some of the breedings but none of the eggs have started

Although buttermilk sounds good. I would put some butter in between the skin and the meat with some fresh garlic so it could baste as it cooks. Onion powder, sea salt, black pepper and just a little tiny cayenne sprinkled on the top. Then some paprika for color. When having a bird as wonderful as I think yours must be, I would take the opportunity to stuff it with a onion, sage and garlic stuffing mix. Don't like stuffing? Just stuff it with large pieces of onion and some garlic for extra flavor.   

Could you possibly be food-gasming any more?

Hmmm.. After rereading my last post perhaps it was my last glass of wine ;-)

So for the second night in a row we have had a hen fly her coop! We have 2 coops/yards and ever since we added Big Buck to 'Coop #2' one our our leghorns from Coop #1 has been flying over her 6ft fence and we find her snooping outside the fence on coop 2. I think she is attracted to Bucks crow as we have never had a hen fly out before. She apparently has some needs fulfilled haha

I feel like i probably have 3 options:
1) Clip her wings next time she escapes
2) move her to coop #2
3) add a rooster to coop #1 (I hear @Minniechickmama might be able to help me out here )


What do you guys think?

 

[holm25]

WELL if it were me I would add another bird... BUT we all know I have a severe problem and probably need an intervention

Ahhh..... I remember the good old days of livestock shows in 4H. I was really bummed to hear that they had to cancel all poultry shows. I completely understand why, but I just hope that it wont discourage people from continuing their poultry adventures.

I showed Pekin market pairs, Market pair chickens, Mini rex rabbits, and netherland dwarf rabbits. I also participated in showmanship as well as our club usually winning herdsmandship in the poultry and rabbit barn

Anyone else show animals in 4h?

 

[Rhetts]

No showing from me. I only go for the food.
My sister, on the other hand, entered 2 items this year in her local fair. She knitted a stuffed toy and crocheted a hat. Won 2nd for the hat and 3rd for the toy I think. Not bad for her first time entering and the items were only made for herself. She was talked into entering them by her knitting group. Good for her I thought.

I forgot to ask, but Bogtown you mentioned something about water to help the hangover????? Could you enlighten me?

Had to get out ol trusty the shotgun last night. The smell of skunk was so incredibly horrid inside the house it was as if the skunk had put its rear right on the window screen and let loose. I assumed the skunk was right out in the yard but I could not find it at all. None of the animals were acting as if there was a problem either. DD said it was so strong she felt it on her tongue and felt like she were going to puke. OOOEEE it was awful!!! All the animals were accounted for this morning. Not sure what to make of it.

No. I have never heard of it happening, and Cluckies suggestion of "Turken" is because those chickens have the appearance of a turkey with the naked neck but they are indeed, chickens. LOL That is funny though.

That's funny! I always thought they called them a turken cause they were half turkey, half chicken!
