Good morming! I overslept by nearly an hour omg!
Those T.V chickens woke me up lol.
Their treats hit a xylophone and they cluck like nut balls when it somebody treats them.
Mine were not happy with me, they acted like they were starving to death...poor things, you can still make out the shapes of their toes.



Ohhh it sounds like a nice one!
Tomorrow though....noooo, id just stay inside and try not to freeze.

Good morning Chicky, have a great day

@Redhead Rae What did you use for the bacon cure recipe? Trying to get a basic estimate of how much cure for how many pounds of bacon and a sense of how much paprika, black pepper and Red Pepper flake to add. Planning curing for 7 days.

Heh, because some of us have one!
Nunny, looking at you and Patty Cake.
Mine isn't all that dainty either!

Did you get the recipe I posted? If not, here is the link. https://www.reformationacres.com/2014/03/how-to-cure-and-smoke-bacon.html/cookbook-print/26723

The trick is to use 2.25% of the meat weight in salt and 2.25% of the meat weight in sugar (I used brown sugar and followed the recipe exact). It turned out fabulously!

Thanks. I have just under 6 pounds of bacon from this girl. What type of hogs do you use and how long do you grow them out?

Today I did a lot of prep before our temps plummet.
Both coops for a full clean out. The big group got to roam the yard while I cleaned.
The only thing left to do is to drop the run plastic on the hoop run tomorrow.
