Yes, the Bresse are very exciting. They are coming from a couple of towns over from me(ok, Lodi is over and south...I guess the Bresse are "Stuck in Lodi, Again). Still not to far.

I posted on Stellas Social Club today. I also hang out on the California Northern thread and of course who could forget the Old Folks Home!(ok old folks....)

Pizza dough is simple but it needs to rise and deflate so it should be made in the morning or the night before. It does not have sugar in it and the oil is olive oil. I use 1 cup for each pan of pizza I am making and 1 tsp of salt per cup. Oil is a couple of table spoons with one added per extra cup of water.

Here is single large or two small pan recipe:



THANK YOU!! Does it have to be king A flour? I dont think I ever seen that
No, I use Organic All Purpose from Costco. Bread flour would make it Chewy, which some might prefer.

Interesting on the "chewy" part because I DID use bread flour for the soft pretzles and they werent the best ! I didnt know that!

Bread flour has a higher Gluten content so it makes things stiffer. You also have to be careful because it is easy to over knead the dough.

To go along with the Candling Video, here is a candling picture at 6 days--Blue Egg Layers from the UofA:

Well guys/gals here is a couple pics of my broody. I put some EE eggs under her.
she is very timid around me so I was able to lift her for a sec to get a pic of the eggs as well.
My son tried first but she went crazy on him and bit the crap out of him almost drawing blood.
I just had to laugh at him. I told him he doesn't care for them so they don't know him and
find him a threat.

A few years ago I had a silkie roo. Although he was the only banty I had with 20 standard hens and roo he managed to get every single hen. I found this out while incubating around 30 standard hen eggs. Lets just say that 22 of the 24 eggs that hatched all had 5 toes!
