Kass the purple hyacinth bean is in edible! It's strictly for flower and foliage ! But a jar full of the seeds is very attractive also!
Glad you caught your varmint cowboy!
Hot here again but storms comming in and then it's supposed to cool down and be spring again!

Not fair to call guineas stupid. It isn't their fault when they fly over the fence into the goat pen they can't get out of the pen.

 

[artsyrobin]

i sure can't consider my guineas stupid- they are just my comic relief! Like last nite, i am coming into the front door- there is an overhang they like to hang out on, just as i get there, one of the older guineas knocks one of the young ones off the roof right in front of me- they had it planned, i am sure of it!!

Working on using eggs today before I have to get them thier own rent house (the eggs). So far coffee custard (14 cups), 3/4 gallon pickled eggs, and 1.5 dozen deviled eggs. I think I've got it below 5 dozen in the fridge now, but haven't gathered the eggs today yet.

I've been reading about the diff between lacto fermenting eggs and pickeling them, has anyone tried lacto fermenting them. There seems to be two sides one that says it's better then pickled and the other that says it can't be done at all.

Today I am going to err on the side of safety and pickle them.

They're beautiful! Do they, by any chance, tame up any better than Coturnix? I've never seen any of those around here, I really like how they look.
Edit: Ijust figured out what "anti bonk" must mean. I guess they don't tame up well? lol

Thank you! I think so too. You probably wouldn't see them around here, they are native out West, and you have to have a permit to keep here them (legally)...I do by the way, lol. I've got 3 different types of New World Quail...and they are all pretty spastic..."anti-bonk" is because they can literally jump so hard straight up they'll kill themselves on open wire in short cages....that's way I have carpet lining the top, lol. For me the least spastic are the Blue Scales....they aren't as flighty...but are certainly a hands off bird!

Now on Coturnix...I have a little over hundred of those guys as breeders, 12 different colors, and I find they are almost too tame. I have to push them out of the way to get to their feeders and waterers. They allow me to pick them up and they will calm right down...if I'm not careful, I'd step on them when I go in their pens.

Another old world quail species I have are the Chinese Blue Breasted Quail (CBBQ) or "Button quail"...those a spastic little dudes! But a great indoor bird, a lot of times used to clean up the bottom of house bird aviaries, or big cages...they are monogamous and mate for life, they only live in pairs too...they will not tolerate any other CBBQ in their territory....really colorful. Some folks will keep them in pairs in 10 gallon fish tanks...being tropical, they have to be "inside birds"..But are broody and raise their own young if you let them...(I've got eggs in the bators) 16 day incubation time, 6 weeks later their at breeding age much like a coturnix...

Humm... Lacto fermenting, is that using milk?

I am with you pickling would be best. I am pickling eggs, both spicy and dill. I am not canning them just pickling. Kind of scared of trying to can them, without refridgeration. I want to start canning but am scared I will can a bunch of stuff and it will go bad. I have a perfect place to store canned goods just not sure about the processing.

Maybe we need to have someone do a canning demonstration at POOPS. I would really be interested in that and can provide the portable burners etc. for it, if someone would be willing to show how to do it.

Hey Meusky, the little hen is laying! she's fitting in really good here...thanks a bunch!

I'm pickling eggs today too...about 300 cot eggs, lol! Scoots said he wanted some for the auction Saturday...then we have tons of chicken eggs that are getting the juice too...as soon as I clean up the kitchen from the quail eggs, lol!
