I think there's a misunderstanding. I've read enough here to know that EE doesn't equate with Ameraucana. Seattle Farm Supply claims to be selling Ameraucana, which may or may not be the case. By my comment that "it doesn't matter", I just meant that I was looking for a colored egg layer. Right now, it doesn't matter to me which breed it is.

I love all of the colored egg layer breeds..

If food is properly canned, the flavor and texture may degrade, but it should not spoil unless the seal has broken (in which case, toss it for sure!). If there was mold in canned food, it had to have been exposed to air.

I was told that if it doesn't pop it is good, but I am too chicken to try.

The health inspector has me trained good. If in doubt, toss it out.

Ive never seen mold in canned food, but lots in kalamata olives and dried dates.

And my Whirlpool front loading washer

Can't get rid of the yucky stuff. Got to get rid of the lousy machine.
It is a water saving @$%$#& .

and the dryer is not that good either. Miss my old Kenmore top load machine.

I've put so much chlorox on it I should at least buy Chlorox stocks.

to get mold out of washing machine .. run a load of dirty clothes with usual detergent PLUS add half a cup of PineSol or equivalent generic

that PineSol solution will also take care of that funny smell that happens when you mistakenly leave washed clothes in the machine for a couple of days --- both in the machine and in the clothes/linens

for serious mold problems, follow that up by adding a full bottle of white vinegar (and the smallest amount of water you can get it to run on) ... that will scavenge most any mineral deposits that are gumming up the pipes

And speaking of colored egg laying breeds, my current hatching batch of Araucanas is now complete, and, I got what I wished for.

A rumpless, bilaterally tufted duckwing chick. Don't care if this one's a boy or girl (but prefer a boy honestly) - This one's a keeper!

You can't see the tuft too well, but it shows in the first photo. The little dark blot of fluff behind the eye.

Thanks. CL has always told me that he is very good looking. He is a pretty nice guy but just needs to go along with the rest of that pen of OEGB.

- you need to leave the door open after you run a load. Most front-loading machines have this issue. (I have the Whirlpool Duet). My sister has the has the LG. She told me to leave the door open (and it states to do that in their ownders manual, but not in the Whirlpool one). My sister loved her LG, hers is quite a bit newer than mine (mine is 9 years old), so technology has changed a bit, but then hers caught on fire one day when she ran to the store after she put a load in. Thankfully the fire was limited to the machine, and other than an acrid stench throughout the house and smoke stains in the laundry room, it did not do much damage to the house.


I line-dry when I can.
