@Aliciahess I'm surprised your price is still above $3. Costco, in Covington, WA had $2.60 Monday of last week so I filled up. Saw it was $2.45 on Friday. Don't know what it is now, but it's probably lower still.
I like saving money, but OPEC is being unaccountably kind to drivers & people needing winter fuel to heat their homes over here. Something's up, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

gas up here is still at close to $4 a gallon.

Of course, since you are all getting super low gas, that means that next year my Alaskan income is gonna be low.

Oh, @vehve I forgot to say that with my broodies, they usually don't feed them the first day, they keep them warm so that the late ones can hatch and everyone can dry off.

I just do chick starter and water. But egg would be great for them.

 

[vehve]

Sam, we're super low with 1.50 € per liter too.

Al, yeah, I'm not gonna feed them until tomorrow, but I've only got 27% crumble and grainmix, so I think egg is better the first few days. Might give them some oatmeal as well.

Yogurt may help too

I smoked one once on the bottom rack with a rack of baby back ribs on the top rack dripping juice on the chicken for hours. It was amazing.

My birds are wild so on processing day, I pull the birds off the roost just before dawn. Stick them in the killing cone, cut the jugular, go in and make coffee, boil water, pluck eviscerate and done. No chicken chasing, wrestling, etc..

Price per barrel keeps dropping yet production hasn't so the other shoe to drop is probably the fact that the global economy may be shrinking.
Air fares haven't dropped yet. Airlines normally buy their fuel on the futures market a year out. So they probably didn't anticipate this price drop and are still using fuel that they bought at a much higher price.

I'm not familiar with the gaminess flavor of which you speak.
The first time I raised my own non-Cornish, I couldn't wait to taste it. I immediately put one on a rotisserie which cooks it quickly at high temperature. That combined with the fact that I didn't let the meat rest, it was tougher than shoe leather.
Learned my lesson by wasting a bird.

I buy powdered whole milk in bulk. http://www.myspicesage.com/whole-milk-powder-p-554.html
10 lbs.. is the equivalent of 10 gallons of reconstituted milk. I keep it frozen till it's time to tenderize some roosters. I mix it a little thick and add to a grain mix, whatever is on hand like oat groats, wheat berries and barley.

That's almost $9 a gallon. Why not just soak your grain in reg milk from the grocery store. Gotta be cheaper.
