Wow, what an awesome day!!.:love ..where can you live that it is like this in the winter all the time?.... Started the applesauce today, this is the first time I have ever made it... Only used about 1/3 rd of the garden cart, just trying to do one batch at a time so I don't get too overwhelmed. It turned out awesome!! SOOO GOOD!!:drool ...12 pounds of apples & only added 3/4c of organic raw sugar to the entire batch! This really helped get me into getting the rest of this finished!..Going to be doing more tomorrow, with the help of G-baby, should be real fun!;) Have all the jars & such ready to go, so all there will be to do is prep the apples! That up-side down jar did seal, just needed a talking to. It never ceases to amaze me how you start out with so much product and end up with only a few jars.

I know what you mean! We bought so many apples this fall and did about 20 quarts total of applesauce lol. They shrink so dramatically!
 
Today was such a BEAUTIFUL day! It was so wonderful to be able to spend time outside in a t-shirt and not a big heavy coat, freezing to death lol. Chickens loved it to. They were off running all over the place, enjoying it. I even saw a few sun Bathers :)

Look who's on the roost! Last night, I went in and gave them a bit of a push. They've been pooping up the nest boxes from sleeping in them so I went in and put mama and all the babies up on the roost. Tonight, she took them there on her own :)

Someone here posted back in early September about Amazon having a deal on the heated water bowls. I bought 6 (under 2 accounts) and it looks like the price is now more than $20 higher (35 vs 14). I forget who posted that - but thank you! You saved me over $125 dollars! I guess it really pays to watch for deals on out of season items. I wonder if anyone will have any on sale on Black Friday?

I got one of these too. Thanks Barbiegirl! It has proved a wonderful item!

I've had a cockatiel too, they've got nothing on a determined Grey. She can be a downright pain in the butt, but we love her. She is a rehomed animal too, so I'm sure some of her behavior is learned bad habits.

I only have one pair left from a hatch the other year. May hatch some in the spring. There are some on Lancaster Craigslist, I believe.

I would buy them..... but you live 6 hours away...... But if you happen to be in western pa I'll buy em. Just wondering how much. There is a person about 45 min away from me in NY that sell them for 6 dollars a piece... AS CHICKS. That seemed like a lot to me and a long drive.

I think they run 5-6 here. I had eggs shipped from NC the other year, if you have an incubator and quail rails. I believe it was $85 for 200 eggs+. iirc the hatch rate was in the 40% range my first time, around 75 little ones. They are fun to watch hatch. Like watching popcorn pop, lol.
 
Can you please say a prayer for my cousins. They live on the outskirts of Ferguson Mo. They are expecting a new baby in a few weeks and had stuff in a storage locker in Ferguson and it was burnt to the ground last night.

Oh no! Prayers for your cousins. That's such a sad and scary situation out there right now :(

I might just do that. It is just such a hassle buying quail trays and then hatch them and then after that raise them in the house. After I get my new big incubator and build a new brooder I might buy some eggs. But who noes when that is...... I just thought 6 was a lot for a day old chick that could drop dead any second.
