Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[HiEverybirdy]

I love that people are using the word "carrioca"! But just so you know, it's a Kichwa word -- one of the regional indigenous languages of Ecuador spoken by people of Inka descent or other indigenous people who were colonized by or intermingled with Inka people.

So if you use it with the 99.999999% of the people in the world that do not know Kichwa, they won't have a clue what you are talking about.

Other Kichwa words for chickens:

Patucha: short legged
Chirapa: frizzle

Tina, a regal carrioca and excellent broody mum.

Thank you! I meant to tag you and appreciate the extra information.

I love words and language, but of course hadn't run across carrioca before your posts. It's a catchy word that popped effortlessly into my head while appraising poor Andre's fancy new neck 'do. Testament to how much of this thread bounces around my head during quiet time with the chickens.

Cheers to majestic Tina.

Ex Batts good morning one and all!

Would you post a picture of the fermented food before you serve it up?

Temperature is in the 60.

Have a great day!

In or out of the jar?

Three hours today. Got about half an hour on the plots and then the rain arrived. It's still raining now. Cold at 5C.

Chickens were not interested in going out. Too windy and too wet.

This is what we've been trying to clear.

I found another compost heap.

Got some frizzles in that bunch. The people who took in our flock send me pics. I post the good ones here. I miss having chickens, especially Skeksis.

About this here fermenting business.
There's stuff that Perris didn't mention in their No Sweat Wholesome home made feed article. For example, they didn't mention having to completely rearrange the kitchen to accomodate the fast accumulating bags of dried beans and peas and other stuff one may have thought interesting to put in the feed mix.
Perris also doesn't mention the amount of money spent on having the sudden urge to try out some grain and seed recipies, or get a pea mix and make a broth, and now I'm eating the same stuff as the chickens.
I've even bought bags of bean flour!
