Put some fake eggs under Daffodil and I will bring you some newly hatched chicks next Sat to let her raise.I have another broodyThese girls drive me crazy! Now that Ana is almost a week into raising her baby (which she's doing a wonderful job with), Daffodil has parked her butt in the nest and won't move. I guess I should be thankful that she didn't hide eggs this year. She always tries to go broody once a year. The only thing is that she's a production red lol. I might actualy let her have a chance at it this year and see how she does. I usually just break her but since Ana only ended up with 1 in the end, maybe I'll give daffodil a few.
wow. Looks good. Looks like mine look. And mine don't even always seal up like that with a pop.So if they seem to unseal no worries. ..they are still ok. The only thing not ok is if they get mold or spoil on top.mine only did that one time and that was when the lids weren't tight. The lid may even bulge up. But it's ok. It's still good. I will try to see if I can find out how long before it's really good. May be 6 or 10 weeks I forget. I just let mine sit for a long time before I try it. And it lasts a long time for me. Best wishes. And yeah super easy. That's why I like it@LearninMyFlock ...When I got the kraut jars all lid/ringed up...there was this beautiful noise..POP!..hahaha, every single jar sealed...I haven't 'cold-packed' for a very long time. Was nice to hear them seal anyway. The jars are cleaned off and now stored in the cellar. We have a dehumidifier running all the time..have to this time of year & we have an unfinished side, so that HAS to stay dry!! Humidity is not an issue is what I am trying to say for whatever reason... Have pics here....
I am down there almost everyday, so will be obviously watching impatiently for them to do their thing

and doesn't hurt to eat it before it's ready just won't taste as saurkrouty. I don't know what to tell you to watch for But if they unseal don't panic. That's what they do they instead will even bulge up. Cuz of the fermenting process. If they did seal up hopefully it's not too tight that they don't do the fermenting. But if it is then you will have canned cabbage which is also good I don't remember if mine ever sealed up or not. I Just follow directions and let it sit keep me posted on how it's going hope so much that you enjoy it! We sure do. Just thought of more so I hope I'm adding and not double posting. ..... your rings may get all yucky and rusty. This is common also. And you may want to put cardboard under those jars. Sometimes it kinda seeps out as it ferments. I think mine only did that the one time when my lids weren't turned on tight.
Soon!....I walked out to the coop earlier today and Tiny walked up to the door, looked at me and squatted allll the way down while I was about a foot away.e
I have two Barred Rocks, and I love them both. They are both hatchery stock so I'm sure they're not great specimens. My favorite hen is my barred rock. I'd be happy to discuss them with you, but like I said, my experience is limited!So what do I do now about the Barred rocks?.... Just google some crap?....I want people who have them!I am afraid to even go to my other "subscriptions"....I will read up on the barnevelder's later....when I can't sleep. I am still holding out hope for that thread..
I am going to pic post the heck outta this place real soon if people don't start talking!!
., believe me, you don't want that..hahahhaha,just ask MC.. yeah..this is me getting mad online...hahhaha
Oh noes!I got Duckling a new pet!

I haven't been posting much, since I don't have any chickens right now. I still read all of the posts. Maybe I should just post old pictures and act like they were just taken. Ha!
