My best roosters have been my Dominique from Cackle hatchery, and my breeder Spitz

Instant pot cracks me up, but good, greatest thing ever invented (like a hundred years ago) we have a four qt regular pressure cooker and will keep using it.
Some at work talking about them, make everything with them, even spaghetti , just toss everything in and BAM!

Pressure cookers are great! I have 4 of them counting the instant pot. I have a 10qt fagor pressure cooker for big jobs.

The genius behind the instant pot is not marketing them as a pressure cooker. Many are afraid of pressure cookers but love their instant pot

You guys are a hoot. Thanks. Needed the Laugh.

Funny about the roo is that he wasn't one of the bantam crosses. He was an Amish bred barnyard cross that I hatched in my Brinsea. I kept him around because he was really a striking rooster with gold and black mottled breast feathers and until last month not aggressive at all. Something just clicked in him and that was it. My bantam crosses are hard on one another but tend to get over it when they get their pecking order hashed out.

My big boy, named Godzilla, wanted to go back to the bachelor pen tonight so I let him. What was that line from Dante's Inferno? Better to Reign in hell than Serve in Heaven? The bantams push him around in the breeding group but the little bachelors think he's the hottest thing to come down the line since sliced white bread. He offers them food and watches out for them when the squabbles escalate. So he is back with his minions tonight. It's a better job for him anyway.

My two worse roosters were Buff O's. My best natured besides the bantams have been the Welly boys. Funny how some people have crap luck with one breed of birds and another with have great luck with the same breed. Gotta agree. It's all in the genes.

No I swear. No chicks tomorrow. NO NO NO NO!

I would like to shop tomorrow, but it is supposed to get up to 70°, so i am going to clean up the garden and cart some rabbit poo down there. And i still have bulbs to plant.

I am thrilled! It has been very chilly and rainy. I have a ton of clean up to do.
