Baking!  Great to see you!  The winter monthes are slow.  In busy times 50 pages is about 2 days posting.  LOL

Just realized the last time I logged in was July lol, pretty good here other than being super cold! Very busy with desserts! I am going to pick up 4-5 pekin adults tomorrow soooooo excited to have ducks again!

I hate the new setup, impossible to reply to each when you are multi quoting! And the emoticons are gone at least for me on the pad

That would work too, but wouldn't be as fun as seeing a couple roosters running around in pretty pink diapers.

Lol to the rooster diaper! I really missed you guys!
So the plan is set and I go pick up my pekins tomorrow, I had to push it by a day because I had desserts that needed my attention (good thing is I make over $400 worth of desserts that will be sold over the next couple weeks) I wanted to try this fermented feed I have been following on another thread and have it ready for them tomorrow but I was out of apple cider vinegar

I tried the fermented feed in the fall, although just my chickens and not my waterfowl. It got too cold to keep messing with it, but I plan on starting again once it warms up a bit and switching everyone to fermented grains, although I don't think I'll ferment their all flock.
Can't wait to see pics of the pekins.

I am thinking about starting with a whole grain fermented grain feed and supplements then switch to ff with grain and mash when I get the meaties, quail and layers

Ok guys I tried my hardest but some how I lost months! Lol how is everyone? I just read about 50 pages and was still soooooooooooo behind, then I got to the quote and reply and the format has changed so I couldn't post grrr well I will try my hardest not to flake for 1/2 a year again lol

Hey stranger! Glad to see you!

I admit, I took a bit of a break after the bators got put away for winter. Two more weeks until my first hatch of the season.

That would work too, but wouldn't be as fun as seeing a couple roosters running around in pretty pink diapers.

Baking, I've been known to make wedding cakes in order to buy more feathered friends. LOL. Its a great way to finance a habit, er, I mean home based business.

Julie, love the idea of roos in pink frilly diapers! LMAO
