I'm headed back out to move some lumber. Here's one of the cream Brabanters. I need to watch this one for over/under bite issues. Wouldn't you know it, this is one of the birds with the well-developed crest.

When full grown is that top puff supose to look like a polish? You said they went extinct then they were remade, how does that work?

Just looked them up, so many cool chickens so little yard space!

Hiya Everyone!!

I'm looking forward to hatch day tomorrow I never did get my hatchers set up in time for this one dealing with all the flooring was time consuming to say the least, I'll have them ready for next round though, I let my goats out to graze most every evening and also opened up the house for fresh air today the little buggers found the open door and helped themselves to a tour the look on my dogs face was priceless like

Umm are we gonna allow this?!?! I wish I had a camera going when the billy discovered her food bowl Princess looked at me with utter disgust

LOL I guided them back out before she spazzed completely out,

I've been hunting Morels a couple times this past weekend I've found about 20 so far just in the woods where I live, I think I'm going to have to make some time to try to gather a load this weekend since there isn't an auction I haven't looked for them in several years and this is the first year I found them close to the house, If anyone has them around their place and just have to have someone come get them I would be more than happy to oblige

Hey Bill,

We don't have mushrooms anywhere around here. The closest wooded area is miles up the road. How do you cook them?

I like Morels cooked just about any way, I dip them in egg then crushed crackers or make a batter last Saturday I sauteed' them in butter and had them with some scrambled eggs LOL Morels are one of my favorites, There are some others that I think are edible that grow in my woods I just need to be certain before I start cooking them the side effects of the toxic ones are pretty rough if you survive them even LOL

When I was gathering them I could have made a meal out of the things I found out back of the house there were dandelions, redbud blooms, morels some other plants and a good sized cottontail for the main course LOL (I didn't harvest the bunny though I will have plenty of poke salad growing soon haven't seen any yet though, the Redbud blooms are good to add to a salad or top some veggies or just sample right off the tree I actually like them like that LOL

Mushrooms are delicious, but scary. I saw a documentary (ages ago) about edible plants, and there is one type of mushroom that is edible above the 45th parallel, but it's poisonous below that line. Do you eat poke salad? I thought it was poisonous unless boiled.

 

[Elwood Lightfoot]

My Grandmother always boiled it 3 times to make it safe to eat I've found you don't have to do that really but the fewer times you boil and drain it the better it is as a natural laxative LOL
