Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

There's a place, "Sourdough International" that sells 20 different strains from around the world! They even have one that they say is the same culture as the one that was used to bake bread for the builders of the pyramids of Giza! 5000 years ago or is it more? Makes me want to try them all. I'm going to try the French two first though, or perhaps the Italian, no, the Polish I think . . . !?!?

They sell a Yukon one, so perhaps that's the strain you have!

I'll have to check that place out, it sounds interesting. I heard about the ancient sour dough found in the pyramids, they must have gotten a spore or two to work with. They also have a beer that is supposed to be from back then too. Interesting that we can literally dig up stuff from 5000 years ago. Can you imagine what it will be like around here in another 5,000 years?!?! Mind blowing for sure. It's one of my favorite "what if" games.

Well, my wreath looks like yours only in the respect that it's round and has a hole in the center. The spikes didn't spike at all. It must be because the no-knead bread dough is very wet -- too wet to hold a spike. So the spikes just settled back down and hardly left any marks at all. Oh well, the bread will taste wonderful, and if I use the center for a bowl of oil or spread it will look pretty on the buffet! Thanks again for the inspiration, I just love trying something new and a little different!
 
The two smaller Accipterine Hawks (Sharpshin and Coopers) are also the primary biological control of the imported, disease and parasite carrying, bluebird extirpating, noisy, filthy starling.

I like your description.

Whooo! We finally got a bizarre egg from this first foray into non-gamebird poultry! One of the Cotrunix quail gave us a shell-less egg! Very odd!



They are recovering very very well from our mistake with their feed. In fact yesterday we got more eggs than we have quail hens. Not even going to try and wrap my feeble wittle mind around that... quail math? And one of our Speckled Sussex layed her first egg today!

It kind of depends on what food is available to them. But a small hawk will take on a LF chicken if hungry. I am pretty sure that my broody was taken by a Red Tail Hawk since I had only feathers and no body. The other two hawk species would have a hard time carrying a bird her size. But all hawks are a threat, just some more than others.

Well CR has got his cages on the truck, and should be nearly home by now. DH and the CR rustled the tow cages on to the truck by shear determination. It was good to visit with CR and his DW for a little bit, I'm happy that we could help. I will be adding pictures of the dirty deed as soon as I get them from DH's phone.

It seems very unlikely that your broody was taken by a Red Tailed. They cannot carry a full-grown LF hen. If they kill an adult LF, they have no choice but to eat it on the spot or carry bits away if they have chicks. Are there hungry coyotes running around your area?
 
Buffy the buff Orpington squatted for me today! I've had her since the first week of August and she was supposed to be close to laying THEN. She's never been cuddly, so this is exciting to me :)
