LOL @ tribbles, haven't heard that reference in years! (She certainly does look like one though

should keep all the Klingons away!)

Just as long as there is no prune juice.

Mitzi-might try having a spray bottle and if they get too bossy, spray them, they don't know where it is coming from. The cochins are amazing little birds- glad to see they are fitting in

You need to keep the beak trimmed back as much as possible, and a deep bowl of food for it that will allow it to dip its beak and scoop up food. It depends on how bad the cross beak is.

i've never come across it with chickens, but my blue jay has that problem....we keep his beak trimmed to help​

Thanks Poco,
We have found a couple of homes but it looks like the rest are going to have to go to Newcastle auction if we can arrange a couple of carriers. Since we sent our daughter off to fly helios for USARMY, and she took the cat, she also took our only animal carrier!

I am lookin for a red shouldered yokohama cockbird, or a sumatra cockbird. If anyone has one they will part with, PM me...

Hay everyone im fairly new to the byc website & forums. I've been in the quail forums a lot but just now found this one thanks to kassaundra. I live in the Stratford area and was wondering if anyone knows about any auctions shows or swaps around here

Sure....and you hesitated to take a jar when first offered.... mawahahahahaaaaaa another convert!!!

Bread and Butter Jalepenos
Soak for three hours and then drain the liquid and pack jalepenos and onion in sterile jars:
6 quarts sliced jalepeno peppers
1 quart chopped onion
9 cups water
1 cup pickling salt

Have your jar lids sterilized in hot water waiting

Place garlic cloves in each jar with the peppers and onion (for quart jars I put 2 or 3 and for pints 1 -2)

Boil vinegar and spices for three minutes and pour immediately over the peppers and seal jars with the sterile lids:
6 cups sugar
6 cups vinegar (I used white)
1 tablespoon tumeric
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon celery seed

I did not have to water bath these. You want the peppers to have consistancy. There is enough salt absorbed, sugar and acid from the vinegar to "keep" the pickles.
But if any jars don't seal, store in the fridge or cover with water in your waterbath canner and bring to a boil for 5 minutes and lift to cool down.


When you come pick up those wyandotte eggs, I'll send you home with another quart....
