What did you do in the garden today?

This can of mackerel in salt brine makes a very favorable fish soup. I added 3 cups of water to it and made a Thai flavored fish soup.

Current standards:

• U.S. FDA regulations prohibit the use of lead in food-contact surfaces.
• Manufacturers use BPA-free or epoxy linings to prevent corrosion and keep the food safe.

Brine safety: The liquid inside the can (brine) is safe to consume and should not contain lead from the can itself.

My 4 week old chicks started causing a dust problem in the house so I moved them into a new brooder out in the shop. I just got the screws I need to build them a run outdoors, so I need to start that project.

The brooder is portable, my utility trailer and a rabbit cage. The rabbit pellet feeder works well for chicks. It's a lot cooler in the shop so it should get them hardened off for the move outdoors. I gave them radiant heat to sleep under.

I want to move my 4 week old chicks out too. I was noodling on a portable brooder that would also be rat proof. This is a good design and might work for me with a few modifications.
