Closest thing I have to roosters is my 6 Ranger cockerels. They’re crowing, and some have been, “amorous” toward the hens, but I don’t know how successful they have been.

I have 2 roosters 1 EE and one is blue marans they have their own coops their own girls.
Right now Red the EE is looking a bit rough poor guy is having a bad moult
he doesn't even mount the hens

I just recived vanilla beans off of Amazon. they smell Amazing. Going to start making Vanilla Extract. Got my flip lid jars Eight ouncers to decant it in but I am going to "brew it" in Mason Jars. Takes about six weeks to soak.

I have to do something Pandemic is squishing the life out of me. Not even house repairs is helping.

So... The vanilla is a project. I am also hoping to make extracts like Cinimon and such as well.
once I get home am hoping to make herbal extracts for Cough medicine and such.
