Yummy Pancake toadstools!!
Never heard of them.. Of course I picked 3 yesterday I have no clue as to what they are.
HOLMS!! I never eat one until I am 100% sure it is safe!!!!
Puffballs are safe, you have to make sure they are not stinkballs, oh and you have to make sure they are not too ripe, or marshmellowy.
Actually Erlibrd, that looks like a bolete of some kind. If you had flipped it over we could see for sure. There is a guy that says there is only one poisonous Bolete. I am not so sure of that, I have yet to eat a bolete of any kind.
Minnie I threw the Dom with the flat cushiony comb back into the "Spring is doubtful" pen. I decided fighting him everyday, with the comb that bothered me from the start and a form I am not crazy about, (not just his small size)\ made him a perfect candidate for the "spring is doubtful group". I actually picked out 2 Dom pullets to pick between for the show.
Also Andy is headed to the "spring is doubtful" pen. While examining him tonight, I noticed a "sprig" on his wattle. It could be and most likely is an injury, but his lack of a crest and that minuscule sprig, has sentenced him to an uncertain fate.
I have only one CLB pullet in next years line up still.
I am trying to go through my other FUfu's and see what I have. I think my straight run from Cackle on Fufu's is even more questionable.
I think I have:
2 pullets 6 roosters ----- Cuckoo Maran
1 pullet----6 roosters Polish
1 pullet 7 roosters Yokohama
I am not sure I have any pullets in my 8 Appeltinis! I had 2 die as chicks, If they were both females I had 6 girls and 26 boys in straight runs...
Something is not smelling right here.........
I picked Cackle because they told what the problems with the breeds were and if they had disqualifying traits what they were. I thought with that I could breed them up to become decent birds. I did no know they would lie on the straight run! This may be my last order ever from them.
You would think out of 32 chicks I would have at least 10 females. I will not know the final count until I get them separated into their new pens.
I spent today building new brooder pens, breeding pens and feeders. I made some of the PVC pipe feeders. I think I am going to like them, I have used a couple for a few days, the feed waste seems way less than the other feeders.
My SS roosters have turned into big mush bags! Judy opened the door to one of their cages tonight and the bird ran into her arms. She was holding the other one and it was picking at its toes, Judy's button and just cooing as she held him. I wish all chickens had SS personalities, they are the sweetest birds~! I have been trying to find a PITA for Jerry so he would have to spend a few months rubbing his tail to calm him down, but I can't find a PITA SS. so he might get a semi-nice one...
Erli and Holms Beings you two are doing Mushrooms now you joining the Surviving Minnesota thread Mushroom hunt?
As long as you could navigate and drive with your front wheels on the ground still. We saw a guy one time at Home Depot load his little light truck with more wood than even your big truck could hold and it popped the tool box out of the back he had bolted in. Then when he tried driving out, his front tires were barely touching, and then he got hung up in the drainage trough in the parking lot. It made for much entertainment that day.
