My sister lives in Norman and can have 4 hens, but no rooster.
Hope everyone was safe thru the storms last night and continue to be safe with the storms today.
My poppies and larkspur are beautiful this year. Are those who got seed seeing any blooms?
Anyone having trouble with humidity in you incubators or experiencing difficulty hatching...check out the Facebook page. Hatching 411. You will learn how to modify your incubator with both a wet and a dry calibrated meat thermometer and other very helpful advice. You ask to join the group and then read the info files so you know about the wet/dry hatching process. They are helping me right now with my big cabinet incubator. There is good advice on Hovabator ,
Brinsea, yellow Chinese and other incubators as well as informational files for the reading. AND there are plenty of baby chicks, ducks and other poultry.
Time to look at planting beans and summer peas if you haven't done it already. You can still plant carrots too. Okra can go in now since the ground has warmed up...it likes the heat.
Looks like we won't get Sandplums this year...good thing I canned up a bunch of juice.
We are canning poke right now...it is a bumper year for it...really tender and not flowering yet. So far I've finished 55 pints and have the rest to do today. I can it like spinach...wash, cut, boil, jar and then pressure 70 minutes at 15 pounds of pressure. Roger's family loves it...especially fixed as poke and eggs
.
And a few carrots from the garden...the chickens loved the greens.
