Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

FYI I just checked with my VERY trusted source. There is not a known connection between Prolapse and Calcium. Also was told  probably not the cause unless there was a thin broken shell involved.

Found a thin or she'll-less membrane in the coop this morning(around 6:30a) so I don't know who that belonged to ....

Hi peeps

just popping in to say HOWDY. I've got a sick kiddo here, and have my hands full. Besides that, I ran errands all day and spent the evening baking birthday treats.

I baked GF/CF/SF coconut flour cupcakes and make a dairy free chocolate frosting for them that turned out terrific. (FYI-Trader Joe's has organic powdered sugar that does not contain corn starch, for those avoiding GMO). They are all packed up in the frig, waiting to woo my son's friends tomorrow. I was going to use a mix, to make life simpler, but PCC Market didn't have even ONE GF/CF cake mix that was a regular flavor. Then I could not find my decorating supplies, so I used a ziploc with the corner cut off to frost the cupcakes.

My kiddo has a nose running like niagara falls, and we're hoping we can get it dried up enough to enjoy his guys night out tomorrow night.

I've got a 2nd coop all set up with it's own run, and it's ready for more chickens, but we're striking out lately on finding birds for a decent price. Question- what do you all think a person should pay for a non-show quality bird that is just used for eggs? I see people trying to sell hens on Craigslist for $25 and I think that's ridiculous, even if they have fed all organic feed.

The In-cool-bator is just about dialed in, almost have it perfect, or thought we did, but am now getting 2 different readings. On the bread thermometer, it's reading 98.6 (we wrapped a thawed freezer gel-pack around the thermometer) and the air temp on the new indoor/outdoor thermometer with probe was measuring 100.1. Which thermometer would you beleive?

Cupcakes, I love cupcakes. They are so easy to scarf down, no fork, no dish, just hide the used wrappers. I have to say I made 12 cupcakes on Sunday and ate 10. I threw 2 in the trash because it's the only way I could stop eating. Then Monday I came across a different kind and ate all 12 of those. Except for a minor tummy ache, I think I did pretty well.You have to realize tho, these are small, cupcakes not the big ones that sell for plenty in the stores. Boy they were good.

It's hard to say before I built the ice-chest-obators I didn't think that thermometers were that far off from each other. I'd lean to your bread therm. I put an old school mercury therm. in my inc. just to find out that the new digital therm with the probe on was 5 degrees off to the cold side hope I don't have poached eggs. By the looks of the yummy cupcakes you have the oven dialed in. Hope Niagara Falls drys up so you son's budd's can get their hands on them. We have a sicko on the couch too!
