We wanted to start off with 3 chicks and the feed store lady talked my wife into getting 4 in case one didn't "make" it. Well, Ricky being a roo doesn't make it either.
Eggs are priority one and Ricky has other priorities. His crowing sounds very cool, but every time he lets loose his "good morning" song, I think that a close-by neighbor will be annoyed. I don't have enough eggs to treat all the neighbors and buy them off. It is ok for now, but I don't want to be THAT neighbor.
I think that Ricky may have a better life being a daddy somewhere else than being cooped up with our three hens. Maybe later, I can get some of Ricky's offspring to expand my flock. I am also thinking that Ricky shouldn't be mating with his sister, not good for the Cochin genetics.
My garlic omelet recipe:
In a bowl, tear one slice of bread into small pieces (3/4" x 3/4") or like 20 pieces, drizzle a little bit of melted butter and a little olive oil, little bit of salt and pepper, and a small clove of crushed commercial garlic or a large clove of homegrown or farmer's market garlic. Stir lightly and set a side.
Beat 2-3 eggs, then add eggs to bowl of bread stuff, then pour everything into a preheated skillet (butter or non-stick spray). Let omelet cook on one side, tilt pan occasionally to allow egg mixture to cook along the sides, then flip the omelet over and cook on the other side. Serve with tomato slices on top or salsa.
I didn't create this recipe, I got it from the book Garlic is Life by Chester Aaron. If you like garlic, you will like this.
