NY chicken lover!!!!

[rancher hicks]

The recipe is

2 cups of diced strawberries
6 bananas
4 cups of flour
(I used half barely and half pastry)
2tsp salt
2tsp baking powder
1tbsp cinnamon
1tsp ginger
1tsp cloves
1tsp nutmeg
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup veg shortening
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
2 tbsp almond milk
(or any milk)

I mixed wet then dry then combined
grease pan
360 for 1hr

This is a large batch I had to make enough for other family members it can easily be cut in half.

What kills me is DW buys strawberries and they go moldy. Usually I cut them up and put them in the freezer before this happens. She always buys them and then doesn't eat them.

There are some in there now. They are not sweet either. The same goes with Bananas.

$775 --seats 47....might be able to talk them into a second stop along the way to pick up the rest of the crew. I didn't request a quote on their web site, just reporting information on their home page. L&S coaches out of Berne NY. That's $16.50 a person if we fill the bus. At $50 a person we only need 16 people. Rental is for one day only. Didn't price 2 day rental for an overnight.

Edited to add: Would be about $50 a person for hotel room, double occupancy. (more if we go with an all suite hotel) Since it is over 7 hours and the bus driver can only drive 10 hours a day we would probably have to stay overnight. It CAN be done, but is there enough interest? I would image that the cost of the bus would be double if we used it two days in a row, but I haven't contacted them. Are we sure that Yankee trails isn't already running a bus trip there from the Capital District?

You might want to contact the Mother Earth Fair people and see what they say about such things. Seems to me they'd be hitting Syracuse and going down RT 81 through PA at least apart of the way. It would definitely be leaving very early and late coming back. If I were to drive I'd definitely be doing an over night. Maybe even two.

I always buy strawberries and bananas because I make breakfast shapes using three strawberries 1 banana and 1 1/2 of almond milk, for my son I use 1% milk.

I vaguely remember Yankee Trails running a bus from Albany last year. I am going to call Yankee trails soon and see if they are doing so this year. I guess I will have to research the dates of the event and what it is actually called and such. I am sure I deleted the info from Mother Earth News....I do dumb things like that.

For those familiar with both breeds, how does the SIZE of the EGG differ between production/red sex links and black australorps?
The reason I ask is because all my australorps seem to be laying, but the size of the egg is still pretty small compared to the other hens I have. They have been laying for a month or two. They are supposed to lay a large egg, so I'm wondering (hoping) the eggs will get bigger.
Anyone know?

Sounds like fun. I would have to take time off from work and may not be able to get it as I will have just taken my vacation in late August. Cass, keep it posted. I am interested!! Ginny

I'm new to owning chickens and I'm from Rochester NY, I alreay did my paperwork for my permit and I'm waiting for it come in the mail. I built my coop out of scraps, and I had a lot of fun doing so that I'm building two more coops for about 4 more chickens and 2 muscovy ducks. Right now I have 6 Amber link chicks that are 5 days old. I seem to have a problem with poopy butt but was told of a remedy. My girls very active and eat well. I clean their digs everyday and wash my hands before and after handling, and I want to handle them a lot to keep them friendly and docile. Any advice is greatly appreciated! thanks so much

I had a sonogram yesterday along with bloodwork. They found only one in there to my DH's relief. I was hoping there would be two because the night before he said that I was looking bigger than I should for how far along I was. I would've loved to have seen the look on his face.

Congratulations! One is good though. I was a bit big for my 1st, bigger faster with the 2nd and a house with legs the 3rd child.
